Dr. Bob has traveled extensively in France (he speaks French fluently), Germany and Italy, where he has visited many vineyards and wine sites. During a trip to Germany in 1975 he attended and graduated from the German Wine Academy.

Dr. Bob teaches an annual Wine Appreciation course at Assumption College  in Worcester, MA every year. The Fall 2000 class will be his 19th year of this very popular Wine education experience where participants have the opportunity to learn about wines from around the world as well as taste fabulous wines from his private wine collection. If you were ever interested in learning more about wine, this is a class not to be missed!

Dr. Bob has been married to his wife Lu for 44 years and they have seven children and eight grandchildren. He loves sports of all kinds and plays golf as often as he can.
