I’m an Edumacator

Over the past two months, I’ve been teaching wine classes for the San Francisco-based wine school, Discover Wine & Spirits. The school offers classes for the very beginner to the advanced.

Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) – the school offers both the Level 2 Intermediate and Level 3 Advanced courses for the Wine and Spirits Education Trust. The WSET was founded in 1969 to provide high quality education and training in wines and spirits. Since then, WSET has grown into the foremost international body in the field of wines and spirits education, with a suite of sought-after qualifications. I will be teaching the Level 2 Intermediate course this weekend and again in April.

French Wine Program – The French Wine Program is designed for wine enthusiasts, the restaurant industry and members of the wine trade. The French Wine Program affiliates are Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB), Loire Valley Wine and Champagne Bureaus and materials supplied by: BIVB, Inter Beaujolais, Interrhone, Provence Wines, Champagne Bureau, CIVC and Loire Valley Wine Bureau. the next series of these classes will be held in April and May.

Italian Wine Series – The Italian Wine Series is a two-day intensive on the wines of this ancient region. It is intended for the more advanced student. The next offering of this course is in May.

Wine Enthusiast Series – The school offers several classes for the novice through the Wine Enthusiast Series. Classes include:

• Learn How to Taste Like a Pro
• Discover Pinot Noir!
• Discover Sparkling Wine!
• Old World vs. New World Classics
• Up & Coming Wines
• Discover Tuscany!
• Syrah – The Grape of Legends

The school also offers classes on the wines of Argentina and Spain.

I will be teaching several of the courses over the upcoming months, as will my fellow instructors.
