The wines will be accompanied by a charcuterie plate.

If you want to find out about Burgundy and know very little - as I did - then this course is recommended. Philip certainly knows his stuff. Be aware the so-called 'special' prices are actually what they normally charge for the wine, if you follow their website as I do. Nevertheless, if you want information and to ask questions of someone who knows a great deal, go.
