Why "Sommelier 101" is NOT just another wine school:

  1. Individual Attention
    We teach what you want to learn NOT what we want to tell you. Our classes are about helping you hone your palate. We work with you individually to achieve this end. Learning about "Sinful Zinfandels" sounds fancy but is that going to help you find great wines at great prices?

  2. Great Teachers & Curriculum
    One of our teachers has formal training, the other is a self-taught wine lover who has spent years tasting wines. We've got different backgrounds and teaching styles, but we've both trained on how to identify wine palates. You get the best of both worlds! In addition, our curriculum includes professional exercises you'd have to pay hundreds of dollars to complete on your own!

  3. Taste lots of wine...
    Class sizes are limited, which translates to more wine tasting for you.

  4. ...and take it home with you!
    If you love a particular wine, it's there for purchase. No waiting, driving around, or other hassles finding it.

  5. Great Deal
    Compare us to similar wine classes. They can be twice as expensive. Additionally, students get 10% off purchases (15% if you are or become a WineStyles club member). Don't pay more for less!

  6. Paypal
    We're secure. Our online transactions are completed through PayPal. We pay for a trusted name to process our transactions, so you don't have to worry.

  7. Objective & Flexible
    We select the wines we pour in class based on how they support our curriculum. And although we have picked wines tailored to our curriculum, we are happy to acquire and pour your favorites when they fit our topic. If they're hits, WineStyles can add them to its stock and have them available for you!

  8. Unpretentious
    We're unpretentious. We promote a comfortable environment for every wine drinker to explore his or her palate without any pressure.

Serious but fun wine tasting is what we're about!
