Wine Courses
With September quickly sneaking up, I'm starting to get that annual back-to-school feeling: part excitement, part dread, but mostly end-of-summer blues. Choose from a variety of 2-hour classes including ‘White Wines of France' or ‘Red Wines of Italy.' Kevin, founder of the popular Windows on the World Wine School, rates wine by asking, How long does this wine give me pleasure?” and is known for his skill at entertaining an audience while sharing his vast wine knowledge.
All our courses have the same standard of excellence, they differ only in the method in which they are delivered and in the differing motivation of students: the student following our e-learning courses will do so for very specific reasons: highly motivated students who cannot, (usually because of their geographical location), follow a course in a regular classroom environment because of their work schedules, family needs or other reasons.
It is our philosophy, and one of the most important foundations of EWA, as reflected in its longer courses, that our wine courses are holistic, that is, it FIRST provides students with a general background into the study of wine (in the form of the ‘Essentials‘ module) and then that general knowledge is applied to a specific field or specialty, e.g. Wine Marketing or Wine Production.
Wine House offer a range of courses from the ever popular ‘Introduction to Wine appreciation' to specialised courses such as ‘The French Wine Course' and ‘The food and Wine Matching Course.' Our courses are relaxed, fun and informative and are a great way to taste lots of wine and improve your palate and wine knowledge.
Grape Collective , listed in The Grub Street Guide to Drinking and Buying Natural Wine in New York , believes that a good wine becomes better the more you know about it. This hip and friendly wine store (of course it is — I work here!) offers free tastings on Friday and Saturdays from 5:30 to 8:00 PM. 2675A Broadway at 102nd Street.
Wine Experts based in the Languedoc region of southern France will take you on an exploration of some of the local vineyards, tasting and sampling wonderful wines whilst learning how they are made from some of the interesting characters involved in their production.
Parts of our courses are almost of a university level, but most are set at an academic level just below that - also because we hold practical experience to be equally important (almost all courses have some practical aspects such as wine tasting exercises and on-site training at a wine business near you- see later).
A professionally trained chef through the Institute for Culinary Education in NYC and a wine professional, she is a Certified Wine and Spirits wine tasting classes online Educator through the Society of Wine Educators, and holds her Diploma in Wines & Spirits through the Wines & Spirits Education Trust.
The retailer, which has gained a strong following for its popular range of wines in store, says that although the newly launched course, which is available now, is free to download, it is best accompanied by its three Wine Discovery cases, which can be bought from its online shop for around £110.
Online learning will instruct you through extensive text, video, online lectures, a comprehensive list of suggested wines for tasting and much more. If you've ever wanted to increase your knowledge of the World of Wine, The Wine Cellar in Vestavia Hills (790 Montgomery Hwy., Suite 132, 205-979-2151) is holding a series of five wine appreciation classes beginning on Jan.
Certified The Certified test is a multiple choice and short answer test along with a blind-tasting of 2 wines and a proper Champagne service. Aside from classroom learning, the best programs offer opportunities for students to complete internships or cooperatives at vineyards and wineries.
