Wine Should be Fun
Emerson once said, “To be great is to be misunderstood.” If
I
didn’t know any better, I would think he was referring to wine.
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 the rest of us, discovering our own
tastes should be about as complicated as it gets.

But as wine’s popularity continues
to grow, understanding wine--
from how to taste wine to how to
pick a good $10 bottle--still remains
a mystery. Walk down the aisle of
any wine shop and you’ll find many
varietals from various parts of the
world. White or red? Chardonnay
or Zinfandel? Rosé or sparkling?
With so many wines to choose from,
it is no wonder that many of us are
confused, possibly intimidated or
just plain clueless about how to taste
and purchase wine.
California has
unique, varied
and interesting
wine regions.

tastings, tours
or groups.
To help you on your educational journey to understanding the
wide world of wine, I encourage you to indulge your passion for
wine through wine events, seminars, educational classes and
presentations—all of which I offer. Most of my classes and
seminars are open to the public. At other times I am invited to
be the keynote speaker at a corporate event, or to preside over
some of the most prestigious wine judging competitions in
Northern California.
From Wine Appreciation 101 to three-day workshops, each can
be customized to create a fun and memorable wine tasting
experience for the public-at-large, at corporate functions or
private gatherings. Whatever your preference, I promise to
engage your senses and expand your knowledge about how to
taste and enjoy wine—just like a pro!
In Vino Veritas!
