Fabrice is happy to share his knowledge and enthusiasm.Yoan was great. Very informative. We learn a lot and ate lots of taste cheeses.

Thank you Yoan.I love eating cheese, but learning to taste and learning about cheese (while pairing with wine) heightened my appreciation for cheese. The class was so much fun and I didn't want it it end. Fabrice was a very excellent teacher in this interactive class. I would recommend to all.
