“The experience of Extreme Wine is second only to my honey-moon with my wife in 1972.  There is no way to improve it for learning.  It was a privilege to be exposed to so many wonderful wines, food pairing at fabulous meals, fascinating company, superb teaching - only my limited adjectives shortens the list of compliments.”
(George F White, MD, Ohio)

“La Verriere & Extreme Wine met & exceeded all my expectations.  It is a magical place with really good & attentive staff - more like a big family house with guests – and fabulous food & wine.  Please pass on my sincere thanks to all concerned for taking such great care of us during the ‘Experience’.”
(Grafter, Tipperary, Ireland)

“I am very happy to have made it.  It was great both for learning and socialising.  And I would love to bring the family for a visit to La Verriere.”
(C Chan, London)

“This was the greatest immersion course ever.  I really do not know how to improve it.  The staff and participants were wonderful.  Nicole is a genius for thinking of this type of learning experience.”
(George F White, MD, Ohio)
