Wine 101: My education continues care of Laguna Culinary Arts
I am happy to announce that I will soon be able to speak about wine with an authority that has some basis in actual experience and education, as yesterday I enrolled in an eight week course to get my intermediate certificate from the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust of the United Kingdom. If it's British, it must be legit, right?
Anyhow, the course is being taught by a Master Sommelier (and high level executive of the Henry Wine Group, the distributor that handles Jorge Ordonez selections) at Laguna Culinary Arts, if anybody should want to join me in my endeavors. Here are the details:
Level 2 Intermediate Certificate in Wines, Spirits and Other Alcoholic Beverages
Instructor: Peter Neptune, Master Sommelier
Dates: Saturdays, beginning October 7 through December 16, 9:30am-12noon.
This class will skip some Saturdays  dates will be determined by the instructor.
$550 per person for 8 weeks
Call 949-494-0745 to enroll
For non-Los Angeles/Southern California based budding oenophiles, there are courses offered in Vancouver, Toronto, Napa (at COPIA), Denver, Cleveland, New York and other cities. Click here for a complete listing.
