I think most wine experts would agree that it would be practically impossible to learn everything there is to know about wine. The more I learn the more I realize how much more there is to learn.
Mike and I have taken a variety of courses, read a number of books and still the pursuit to know more is in full throttle. One of the best instructors we’ve ever had just happens to live in San Antonio.
Janet Easterling is a sommelier with an encyclopedic memory. Her vast knowledge of wines…varietals, producers, good and bad vintages, you name it from all over the world is enviable and very impressive. Lucky for all of us, she’s teaching her wine classes again, and they just happen to be at one of my favorite restaurants…Soleil Bistro.
I’ll post the information below—if you get a chance to attend, you won’t be disappointed.
