French Wine Scholar Online - Independent Study Format

This is an excellent program for anyone who wishes to know France. Both the book and the online studies are easy to read and well presented. I have always been a lover of everything French. I can not say enough about how much time and effort the Wine Scholar Guild puts into this program. This is a must-do study program.

I loved this class. I love French wines. It was a lot of material, but it was presented very well, and it just inspired me to want to go back to France and visit some of these regions. I didn\'t miss a class because it was so enjoyable. The wine tastings that complemented the region of the day was not only an added bonus, but it brought the wine regions to life for me.

The FWS program materials enable the serious and enthusiastic student of French wine to gain an impressive level of understanding. Brief sections of French history as it relates to the wine trade provide helpful context. Each chapter features well-written narratives of regions that capture the geography, geology, viticulture, and oenology that students clamor for in an engaging way. Finally, regional cuisine is covered such that wine-food matching traditions can be appreciated accordingly.

The French Wine Scholar program is a rewarding and enriching experience for anyone with an interest in wines of the world. Because of France\'s unique place in the history of wine, learning about how each location, soil type and climate changes the expression of the grape makes shopping for wine a satisfying and thrilling adventure, and makes finding the right wine for a special (or even an everyday) meal enjoyable and fulfilling. Recommended to anyone with an interest in food and wine.

This is the place to go if you\'re looking to broaden your knowledge on the subject of the wines of France. There is no more thoroughly researched treatise written on the wines of France than the French Wine Scholar manual. It covers everything ... from the fascinating history behind the areas under vine to the in depth research into the multitude of cultivars and their origins , plus the influence of climate change going forward. The best thing about it all is that the presentation makes it fun.

The quality of materials, instruction, and the availability of information as well as access to superb educators make this one of my favorite courses to date. While I live somewhere that normally requires planes, hotel rooms & rental cars to take many of the courses and exams I need at this point in my studies, it was absolutely refreshing to study in my own office, on my schedule, and still gain a tremendously rich educational experience. I cannot say enough how impressed I am with the French Wine Scholar program - and the Wine Scholar Guild itself. They have opened up wine education opportunities to everyone who wants to put in the effort. Honestly, you have a member for life, and I cannot wait to dig into more of the Master Level programs!

The e-learning material (accessible 24/7) associated with the book are key elements to the learning process when used jointly. They really complement each other, and this is very well done. One important feature also here is the availability and the support I got during this learning: my expectations were exceeded, very professional thanks! The pedagogical approach and the course contents are at the top!
