Anthony has driven several thousand miles through Europe in 2009, seeking the most up-to-date information on wine production.  In May, he joined a group of fellow members of the Association of Wine Educators on a visit to the Alto Adige in north-east Italy.  June saw him in Bordeaux to complete his triennial examination to maintain his accreditation as an official trainer of the wines of Bordeaux.  August brought a week in the Burgundy region with ten other wine educators from the U.K., U.S.A, Canada and Eire to complete a weeks accrediation course in the wines of Burgundy. The picture above shows Anthony enduring the arduous task of tasting Premier Cru white Burgundies.

Ambassadeur du Champagne

The first international competition for wine tutors was sponsored in 2005 by CIVC, the controlling body for Champagne.  Competitors from eight European countries submit essays on Champagne production and details of their training career to get to their national final.

Anthony won the title of Ambassadeur du Champagne at the UK in 2005 and, In late November the eight finalists gathered at a hotel in Epernay, France where they competed for three prizes.  In the morning of the tests, each had five minutes to prepare a tutorial on three champagnes tasted blind.  After lunch the candidates were asked to choose one from five envelopes.  This contained the topic for a twenty-minute lecture for which a fifteen-minute preparation period was allowed.

Anthony won a trophy in the form of a champagne chiller, certificate, laptop computer and magnum of Billecart-Salmon pink champagne for ‘the best and most original presentation’.

Wine Study Trips

As a member of the Association of Wine Educators, the Institute of Wines and Spirits and a WSET accredited tutor, Anthony has the opportunity to undertake a number of wine study tours.  Recently he visited vineyards and met makers in Alsace, Austria, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Germany, Italy, The Loire, the Rhone Valley and Switzerland.. We are prepared to run similar visits for our clients where there is a demand. 
These would take the form of four or five day tours for up to a dozen participants with Anthony as guide/tutor. Costs will include travel, most food (probably one free evening) and accommodation. Champagne, Chablis, Sancerre, Alsace and Burgundy are all possible candidates for coach travel.  Other venues would entail travel by air. If anyone is interested, please let us know and we will build up a mailing list.
