During my thirty-plus years as a Certified Wine Educator,
I have found that, to this day, people still view wine as too
complicated to understand. If there’s anything at all
complicated about wine I can assure you it is only in the
process of making it. For most of us, discovering our
own tastes should be about as complicated as it gets.
I provide a variety of services to those interested in wine.
Start with a fun class on a riverboat or book a private
tour for friends. I offer a wide variety of courses ranging
in price and participant level of expertise. Let the tasting
begin!
