The truth is most wine lovers have never taken a professionally led wine course.
The fact is – learning wine on your own is overwhelming and confusing
You know you don’t want to put learning about wine off another year, or you’ll still have it on your To-Do list next year.
When looking at the labels of a bottle of wine, you're still not exactly sure what's inside it. You hit the wine store and pick out a bottle, but you don't know what's inside. You become frustrated and pick out a bottle you've tried before and give up on trying something new. (After all, no one wants to spend money on something they won't like.)
You know you are missing out on wine styles you'd enjoy if you felt as confident buying wine as you do when buying shoes.
As a result, you have trouble understanding all the different labels. You have thought about taking wine classes in the past, but they seemed too technical and perhaps even boring.
Want to know a secret?
Understanding wine doesn't have to be complicated. It can be fun!
How do I know this? I have spent almost two decades as a sommelier and wine educator who specializes in educating women about wine. I have witnessed how much fun they are having and how much confidence they are gaining as they learn and build their wine knowledge.
When I began my career in wine, I noticed many instructors were men, and while they were highly knowledgeable, their teaching style did not always connect with women. That's when I decided I could help, and I started teaching about wine in a way that made learning about wine enjoyable, entertaining, and practical for women. I know it's not just about maps and technical information, but also about how to pair them with delicious food and friends to make lasting memories.
Educating women about the world's wines is my mission so they can choose, enjoy, and serve the wines they have come to enjoy with confidence. Imagine how great it will feel and how much money you'll save when you walk into a wine store and know how to read the label to find a wine you'll enjoy.
After taking a class with me, you'll see how easy it can be to learn about wine when it is presented in an engaging, entertaining, and practical manner, so you feel that your wine knowledge is growing quickly as you take the class.
The classes are also designed to allow you to learn at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home - slippers on, anyone?
The first step of your learning journey at Wine Girl Academy is to discover your palate personality. This will be done through a fun and short quiz that will give you a better understanding of the wines you enjoy along with tips on how to easily find more wine styles that fit your palate.
