Description
Are you interested in wine, but you’re not sure where to start? This course is for you.

“Thank you so much for all the work you have put into this course. Very informative.”

“I just want to let you know that I appreciate the work you’ve put into this course and are continuing to put in to it to add to its already bountiful, richness!!! I am learning a lot and know others are too.”

“Great intro to wines and the winemaking process.”

“I very much enjoyed taking this course, and found it very informative.”

“I found this course very informative and the instructor was disarmingly charming while still imparting significant knowledge in viticulture and winemaking. The course modules are succinct, allowing me to watch in bite-sized chunks. Terms were clearly defined, and the language was accurate but not filled with the normal pretentiousness one often finds associated with wine. A definite recommendation for wine newbies, but also for folks who know wine well and want to know more about the vineyard.”

This course has 4,142 students in 120 countries (WOW, thank you, students!) and it’s growing daily! (Updated 2/16/2020)

Feel the hubris of wine confidence, and put that wine snob you know to shame =)

Just kidding, we’re not about shaming here

But heck, you can become a wine snob yourself, if you’d like

I personally enjoy the term “wine geek” much more. In this course we’ll teach you how to geek out on wine.
