I read the news today that Linda Lawry, DWS, CWE,CSS of International Wine Center fame has retired. Linda was a marvelous professor when I was studying for my Diploma in Wines & Spiritus. Funny and incredibly knowledgeable, she brooked no silly comments.

I learned so much from Linda about French wines through the center and thanks to all the seminars she has done at the Society of Wine Educators conferences.

I am happy for her as she moves into this new well deserved phase. She will still be teaching classes at the center so even more students will benefit from her amazing knowledge base and tasting experience. Thank you Linda.
