It's a distillation of the most important and practical things I've learned about wine throughout my journey becoming a sommelier. I can't tell you how much I wish this course existed when I got started in wine. It would have saved me SO much time, money, and effort.Plus, most wine courses out there are overly academic and boring—but not Wine Primer! I hope you enjoy!
