    Review of Tanya Darling, September 14, 2009

    Tanya is such an amazing instructor! I can't give her enough stars for a class packed with engaging information and fun! I have taken several of her classes and came away feeling like a wine expert for her enthusiasm is catching. One class was about the wines of Chianti, Tuscany and Umbria, just one of the areas that Tanya knows so much about. It is astounding how much she knows about all the wine regions of France, Italy, Spain and all the regions of American wine making. I don't know how she does it. No wonder she has such a following of wine enthusiasts who keep coming back for more. Recommended highly as a wonderful, engaging communicator!
