O' Chateau Wine Tasting

Has anyone heard of this wine tasting that is offered in Paris? It is run by a French man who also speaks Italian and English. He offers several different wine tasting %26quot;packages%26quot; to introduce one to French wines.





I am traveling with a friend who does not drink and she will be spending two days off with her parents who will happen to be there the same time we are. I thought this might be fun for me to do as I do drink...and I love wine!! Not familiar with very many French ones as I come from Northern California where we are spoiled with great wines.





Any comments are appreciated.

This one got a really bad review a few weeks ago...as I remember it the wine was bad, one bottle was even corked and the man%26#39;s english was not so great.



Lavinia is Europe%26#39;s largest wine store and they have a tasting bar at 3-5 bd. de la Madeleine, 1e open Mon-Sat til 8pm. You may even be able to compare a CA wine with the real deal.

Thanks for the info Good2Go.





Bummer....I was hopeful about it.

Here is the bad review, but I think it is another place?

Thanks Terry_G!





I remember reading that post and thought it was a different place. Is this the review you were referring to Good2Go?





I hope so....O%26#39; Chateau sounded like fun!

Yes, my mistake, sorry.

TerryG, do you have a way to search these listings, if so it would be muy helpful in the future.



KelBel, let me know if you%26#39;d like company at O Chateau, I%26#39;m intrigued.

Hi Good2Go--





I would love to have company at the O%26#39; Chateau wine tasting. It is always more fun to taste with someone....then you can compare notes. By no means am I an expert though!! I think I will go on Thursday, 7 April. That is when my friend is with her parents. I am also planning on possible meeting alexth82 from this board for dinner that night!! You are welcome to come with us as well.





Check out O%26#39; Chateau%26#39;s web site and see what one you would be interested in and let me know. The wine/cheese pairing sounds great....I LOVE cheese! My e-mail is kellie40@comcast.net

I used Google search with this:





paris wine tasting site:tripadvisor.com





One was still not shown, so I clicked on %26#39;Cached%26#39; on the Google line to find it.

Terry G... impressive, you are a google master.

Hello Everyone!



Please write back and let us know how your wine tasting adventures were. I am going to paris in May with a friend of mine. So far we are looking at a tour that takes you on a champagne tour.



Thanks!
