Past Students LOVE What They Learned With Natalie's Previous Wine Courses
Before I took this course I felt lost in the wine aisles of the liquor store!
I knew basic pairing rules like fish with white wines and red meats with reds, but that was all.
After the course, I not only expanded my practical buying/pairing knowledge, but I have also found some new favourites!
I now feel much more confident when choosing new wines that suit my taste, and will even be brave enough to order a suitable bottle from the list at a restaurant the next time I go out with friends.

Is This Course Right for Me?
This course is for you if you feel that ...
- I love wine, but I'm not an expert. I'm more interested in pairings, especially cheese.

- I’ve completed sommelier or other wine courses, however they didn't really take an in-depth focus on wine and cheese pairing.
This course is NOT for you if ...
- You've completed an advanced certificate program in cheesemaking or cheese appreciation that also had a comprehensive wine pairing component.
- Fromagiers and those who make cheese who are also wine experts.
- Those who think they already are The Big Cheese need not apply ;)
