I learned so much… Annette explains complex content in an accessible way, clear and highly informative. Annette speaks with the relaxed authority of someone who really knows her stuff.

… Not only is Annette extremely knowledgeable about wine but she is a poised, confident speaker and gives a fascinating presentation. I really learned a lot.

A fun and informative class. Really loved doing a deep-dive on one varietal rather than a range. Annette’s background in education shines through as she helps you figure out what you like in a Sauvignon Blanc … who knew there was so many different SB’s!
