Thank you!! Yes I will (hopefully) be happy when it’s over. But I am learning so much about France herself in studying the wine regions more deeply. On croise les doigts ffingers crossed)🤞🏻❣️
I'm saving all your recipes and recommendations.... someday, when life calms down (!), I'm going to try them. Merci beaucoup! But right now, today, I'm going hiking high up in the Sierra Nevada, on this gorgeous summer-y day. Bonne chance pour tes examens!! Je penserai à toi, au sommet qui donne sur le Lac Tahoe. :-)
Greetings Karen! I can’t believe it was a week ago when I was enjoying lunch “sur la terrasse” avec VOUS! 🤩. So now I will add this deeLISHn pasta dish to my repertoire ……and call it “chez Karen pasta” 🥰. My late husband loved Sardines, so this will be an ode to Jeff as well…..
I'm just curious: What Exam are you taking in Bordeaux? I am a level two Somm, and I have been a professional chef for the last 35 years. I'm moving to France in the Fall. I have a substack as well but haven't hit the publish button yet!!
Good luck on your exam! French exams are daunting indeed...

So lovely chatting and having lunch in Paris on a sunny day❣️
I love sardines. Had them once a week at my grandparents place.
I would of course try them. It’s an adventure and I know how good they are for us! 🐟
They are so GOOD!!! ☺️
Okay, I have tins of anchovies and sardines in my house, and GF pasta, so it’s on the menu for lunch!
Let me know how it turns out!!

First off félicitations for the move to France—what an adventure and it’s a wonderful place to live. Where will you live in France?
This exam is for the French Wine Scholar specialization from the WSG. Super deep dive on France
Re Substack: I encourage you to polish well and then hit publish! Greetings from Paris and bon démenagement !
We are starting in Annecy! We love the mountains and do not care for the heat so much! Good luck with your exam!!
Santé, and thanks for the encouragement!
