About me

 Learn the basics on how to taste a wine like a professional!

I have created an easy format for everyone to follow and get a glimpse into this fascinating world.
Did you ever try to see what happens when you add a tea bag into a red wine? We are going to taste different wines and learn how to create a tasting note
and how to evaluate the quality of a wine.
I will lead the class not with boring theories but with some direct experiences, to understand what is the body, acidity and tannins in a wine.
I will explain how a wine taste changes after we eat some food (for example how a red wine changes after eating something sweet).

Fun and an experienced teacher will help you start your trip in this wonderful
world!!
