Helene was absolutely amazing and had an immense amount of knowledge that exponentially increased my appreciation and enjoyment of the wines we tasted. I learned so much and her encyclopedia-like expertise on wine, processes, chateaus, and history, paired with her friendliness made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you Helene!!!
