OSHER 926 - Regions of France: History, Food, Viticulture, and Enology

The history of formal viticulture and enology dates back to 600 BC. Grapes were discovered and planted by existing tribes and new cultures with diverse traditions. Many of the food traditions are as historic as the wines themselves. Discover each of the twelve wine regions of France in a three week journey, from Provence to Alsace, with Sheral Schowe, French Wine Scholar and Wine Educator. Each week, you will taste six wines from four regions of France and enjoy cheeses of France and freshly baked breads.
