2 Welcome to the LE CORDON BLEU Wine Department Building upon extensive experience at l'académie du vin, Patricia Gastaud-Gallagher, academic director and director of the wine department of the famous LE CORDON BLEU school of cuisine and pastry, has written a wine program designed to make the more technical aspects of wine knowledge easily accessible to the general public, and especially so in the congenial atmosphere of the school. At LE CORDON BLEU, where oenophiles meet an international elite of present and future culinary professionals, a strong synergy exists between food and wine lovers. In a country like France, where immense pleasure is derived from searching out and developing the concept of gastronomy, teaching this important aspect of the "French way of life" contributes in turn to the unique character of LE CORDON BLEU. In order to further the study and appreciation of all aspects of the French language and culture, Mr. André J. Cointreau, president of the LE CORDON BLEU group, and grandson of the founders of both Cointreau Liqueurs and Rémy Martin Cognac, entrusted Patricia Gastaud- Gallagher, former director of L'Académie du vin, with the mission of creating a program of wine study to parallel the outstanding LE CORDON BLEU curriculum in cuisine and pastry. Ms. Gastaud-Gallagher also directed the International Who's Who in Wine & Spirits after several years as a wine columnist at Cuisine & Vins de France. WINES & SPIRITS SELECTED FOR LE CORDON BLEU WINE COURSES LE CORDON BLEU has an extensive network throughout France and abroad of the finest producers of wines and spirits. The wines and spirits chosen for LE CORDON BLEU courses are carefully chosen for their quality, and for the characteristics which make them representative of their country, region, type, or vintage. This careful palate training also builds skills in food analysis. PATRICIA GASTAUD-GALLA UD-GALLAGHERGHER Wine Depar partment Director Ms. Patricia Gastaud-Gallagher, former director of the legendary Académie du Vin wine school joined LE CORDON BLEU in Patricia Gastaud- Gallagher was also the director of the International Who's Who in Wine & Spirits, after several years as a wine columnist for the gourmet monthly Cuisine & Vins de France. Ms. Gastaud-Gallagher is one of few Americans to have been awarded the Mérite Agricole in recognition of services rendered to the French wine industry. STUDY TRIPS IN THE FRENCH VINEYARDS WITH LE CORDON BLEU Wine trips provide a marvellous opportunity to see the splendid French countryside, its rich architectural heritage and traditions of gastronomy, and the passion invested by each chateau or domain owner in the tending of vines and making of wine. Each trip also includes a visit of cultural or historic interest, reflecting our belief that wine is more fully appreciated in the context of French history and culture. These visits are optional.; prices vary according to the destination. JEAN-MICHEL DELUC Maître e Sommelier The success of LE CORDON BLEU wine courses is such that Jean-Michel Deluc, Master Sommelier and Vice-president of the Paris Society of Sommeliers, gives many of the lectures and tastings. Formerly Chef Sommelier of the Espadon and Drouant restaurants, Jean- Michel Deluc shares his knowledge and love of wine in English and French.
