John & Rachelle Yoxall

I had hoped to write in this guest book without reading everyone else’s kind & honest & complementary words first, to avoid sounding repetitive. All the previous entries however are from the heart, as this one will be. This trip was a dream for John. He has always wanted to tour Bordeaux. I came along… and everyday we were both inspired, impressed & thinking about when we can come back.… Alumni Tour…email us!! We have been spoilt. You both made this week so easy – from our initial registration, receiving the information package & leading the path each day. Our Bordeaux Wine Experience was shared with another couple, strangers at first but friends today. We feel this goes for the two of you, «Arrive as strangers, & leave as friends». Please keep in touch & know that you are welcome to our home in Toronto. I feel we are now leaving to explore Bordeaux wine on our own and it won’t be the same without Ronald, our wine coach & tour guide. … And the food… wow… each place you personally selected was so different & appealed to each of us for reasons of our own. Each one was perfect! This week was perfect! Thank you.
