Delicious Wines and Cheeses & Learning from a Truly Passionate Expert - Irene is an incredible sommelier! She shares her passion and knowledge of wine (and cheese) in such a warm and inviting manner that everyone totally enjoys the experience. The wines were exceptionally delicious and were paired perfectly with the cheeses. We highly recommend this experience for anyone who enjoys fine wine and cheese. We learned a great deal about some special wines of Rioja and completely enjoyed the atmosphere. The experience is a great value for the high quality of the wine and her invaluable expertise.
