The Steps for Your Online Wine Course
Testimonials
Kind words from kind humans...
I wouldn’t be a success without hardworking students such as these fine humans…
[After taking WSET with Joanne], I started drinking a lot of wine and I'm able to tell the differences between them to serve my guests better.
After feeling totally overwhelmed aat the beginning [of the course], the online course [SommWine's Ultimate Guide] and revision structure definitely helped.
I now feel more confident about wine and able to classify all the information in my mind. I'm pleased with how much I've learned in such a short period
Who am I? Think zen master meets Dionysus the Greek god of grape harvests, winemaking, religious ecstasy and ritual madness. As a metaphorical flame thrower, I'll break down students’ barriers to learning. My classes have 2 rules; No oenophobes allowed and no prisoners taken.
