You warmth and hospitality will always be remembered. Thank you Ronald for teaching us so much. I feel that I can now at least discuss Bordeaux wines. I had a long way to go, but I feel I have started with the best teacher. Thank you both so much for making our first trip to Bordeaux very special. Our major take away form this trip is that we now drink and experience our wines with a different level of appreciation and understanding. We stop to look at the color, experience the “nose” before and after swirling, coat the entire cavity of our mouths and finish it off gently and slowly. Our wines are basically the same, and we’re looking forward to receiving the ones we bought, but our appreciation of them has gone up exponentially, thanks to you. This will remain with us forever, and that’s priceless. I just want to add that we were very pleased with the non-commercial approach of the tour. I felt we were in the company of very good friends that we have known for years. I would be happy, very happy if our paths would cross again. As I told you Ronald: “You did good” and Margaret is the best! All the best. Hope to see you in NY, fondly,
