"They say that in wine there is truth. One of those truths is that in wine, one learns not just more about oneself, but about the fascinating relationship of humans with the grapevine. It's a lifelong learning journey for everyone I know in the wine business, and there's no reason it can't be the same for everyone who is the least bit curious about the farming of vines to the production of wine to the enjoyment of the final product."
"The beauty of these classes is that many can be done over Zoom and the wines will be sent to you. Some top choices include: Wine 101: A great first wine class. Delve into the basics of wine from grape to glass in this two-hour class. Two-day Immersion: The most essential wine info in one weekend class. Learn tasting, pairing, buying, serving and storing plus the best regions to know."
"There are also trips abroad that immerse participants in the intricacies of a wine region. There's one coming up in 2026 to the Valle De Gaudalupe region of Mexico, May 31 to June 4. Finally, there's The Secret Wine Bar, open Thursday-Saturday, 5-9 p.m., visit on the top floor of 415 Grand Ave. in South San Francisco, home of the San Francisco Wine School. Check out"
