As you might be aware, getting the clarity you need to improve your Palate Confidence and ultimately become more skilled wine tasters is a major problem for most wine enthusiasts, wine professionals, and wine school students worldwide…
The “wine tasting” virtual space is absolutely flooded with courses, coaches, and hype - all promising to help us get results but ultimately only adding to our frustration...
The fact is - there are three main reasons you struggle to improve your palate.
1. Weird wine descriptors: “Tennis ball canister? Barnyard? Is that what I'm supposed to get in this wine? But I don't. What's wrong with me?”
2. Overwhelm: “There is too much information and wines thrown at me at once!”
3. Too much memorization: “How can I improve confidence in my palate without having to memorize so much stuff!”
Do these sound familiar? In all of my experience serving and talking with amazing folks from all over the world, I hear these three struggles and pains all the time.
But these are only symptoms of a much greater issue - the real issue is the lack of a clear "Point A to Point B" system that's easy to follow. A clear roadmap that's been proven to help people just like you increase confidence in their wine palate and improve their wine-tasting skills in no time flat!

Jennifer is a renowned author and a professor with five courses on wine and spirits on Wondrium and The Great Courses.
In addition to being a TEDx Speaker, Jennifer is a frequent guest on national television including NBC’s Today Show, Fox Business, Fox News, Fox & Friends, CNN/Money, CBS, Anderson Cooper, and Bloomberg TV among others.

This phase is about identifying specific visual, aromatic, and structural markers that can only be attributed to individual grape varieties.
We will conduct careful "compare and contrast" tastings to really draw your attention to what to look for in identifying grape varieties.
You will also learn how to calibrate your palate so that "low", "medium" and "high" are consistent no matter what you are tasting.
Next, you will experience what colors, aromas, and tastes directly point you to what type of climate and specific region a wine comes from.
After this step, you will have even more corroborating evidence which directly builds confidence in your tasting ability.
Once we have your grape and origin markers in place, we'll kick off the Winemaking Phase. This is where you will learn how to taste differences in winemaking such as types of oak and taste for variations in specific vintages.
If you’ve done the first two steps correctly, this last step is the knockout punch. It provides you with the most confident evidence that will confirm the conclusions that you drew on in previous lessons.

This course is for any wine school student, wine enthusiast or wine professional who wants to fast track improving his or her palate. If you are in the Wine & Spirits Education Trust courses, ideally this would be for levels 2 & 3 students.
Immediately! This recorded course is delivered directly to your inbox and you can watch anytime.
This is a tasting course where we taste 12 wines (one case) with two specific wines together per lesson.
If you want to taste the wines along with me in the course, you will need to purchase the wines on your own. After you sign up you will get an email letting you know which wines to purchase and alternatives.
Given so many people from all over the world sign up for this course, it would be impossible for me to send wines to you. It is easier, cheaper, and faster for you to directly purchase the wines yourself.
Don’t worry, the wines chosen for this course can be found pretty much anywhere. And if you can’t, alternatives are offered.
Which would you prefer… Purchase 1 bottle of a top-growth Bordeaux which would last one night or improve your palate that would last a lifetime?
