What you can expect
During this course, our goal is to translate the traditional, theoretical elements of wine and winemaking into a simplified foundation of wine smarts you can use every day to look at a selection of wines and know how to pick a bottle for yourself…for your meal…for a friend…with confidence and excitement. You may not have ever had that bottle before, but you’ll know why you picked it, and will have a renewed curiosity about what to expect when you open and pour. Get ready for an exciting journey—and a ton of fun!

What Our Students Have to Say
I am married to a true wine fanatic (or aficionado)! And while I have always wanted to take a wine course, they all seemed too time consuming and intimidating. Until DOMSOM! The course is relevant and I can take it with me everywhere. Most importantly, the tools have given me the ability to select wines I enjoy and to know why I like them – now I get to choose the wine on date night! I’m a DOMSOMer for life!
Ronda Stucker, Wine Enthusiast
It’s (DOMSOM) been great! Enjoying the format as I can knock out a few sessions in the morning with coffee or evening while I’m winding my day down.
Thank you so much for DOMSOM! I heard some podcast interviews with you and Charisse and thought “these two speak my language!”
I’ve been working in the wine industry for the past 2 1/2 years and ,in my opinion, DOMSOM is a less intimidating way build a base of wine knowledge!
