Wendy Narby

With 30 years of experience in the French wine, food and tourism industry, Wendy Narby creates fascinating and engaging wine experiences. Her premise ‘Knowledge Increases Pleasure’ is that education can be fun – it is wine after all! Many people who tour with Wendy or attend class one of her classes already have some knowledge of Bordeaux. This usually comes from the bottle – a pretty good place to start.

Others know nothing about Bordeaux except perhaps a few preconceived ideas and want to know the truth behind the image.

Bordeaux Bootcamp is an opportunity for Wendy to summarise some of the themes she teach in class or covers when on tour with clients. It also answers some of the most frequently asked questions by students and the visitors to the vineyards.

There are plenty of excellent books about Bordeaux; either Château by Château or tasting guides. Bordeaux Bootcamp is neither of these; it is designed to look at Bordeaux basics and be a quick guide to the key elements that make Bordeaux the iconic region it is. Bordeaux wine education made simple.

If you are planning to visit and want some background beforehand, or if you have already toured or been to a class with me and could benefit from a little revision and update Bordeaux Bootcamp is for you.
