We tasted 9 great wines with plenty of topping off! The sommelier guided us to a cheese shop, which conveniently supplied us with wonderful cheese pairings to go with the wines. We learned extensively about wines in the various French regions, and had fun talking with 3 other couples. This is a wine tasting you should NOT miss if you are in Lyon! The sommelier was fantastic.
