    Franck was superb and extremely knowledgable. Could have used a tad more food with the high alcohol as a precaution

    Franck was enthusiastic and informative during this class; he has a true passion for the subject. The whisky/food tasting session was particularly interesting and fun (and worth the price of admission alone).
