BEFORE YOU GO...

Want a crystal clear roadmap for assessing and buying wine like a pro — without the snobbery and judgment the wine industry is famous for?  

I've got you covered in my Worthy Wines Course...

Join Worthy Wines!

There’s a lot of mumbo jumbo that goes into pricing wine. And just because a bottle has a $50 price tag, doesn’t mean that it’s all that great — or that you’ll even like it.

So if you want to save money, drink more of what you love (and know WHY you love it), and finally feel confident when tasting and talking about wine, this self-paced, online course is for you!

And if you join right now, you’ll get a special cheatsheet of commonly seen (but also commonly confusing) label terms seen on premium wine bottles. This will be your quick reference to instantly translate all of the wine jargon used by different wine regions around the globe.

Why Did I Create Worthy Wines?

Learning about wine can be intimidating. Everyone else seems like an expert and there is seemingly a secret language used to describe it. 

When I first started drinking wine, I loved hearing how experts described it, paired it with food, explained the history of the grape varietal, and always seemed so confident in their opinion. 

But I struggled because I didn't have this confidence! I couldn't articulate why I enjoyed (or hated) the glass I was drinking.

And I wanted confidence that the bottle I just tried at a winery was worth the price tag (and that I would still love it when I cracked it open at home).

Simply put, I was desperate for a few simple strategies to be (and sound) smarter about something I enjoyed so much.

And I was spending A LOT of money on something I knew so little about. 

I eventually took multiple certified wine courses and my passion for wine led me to becoming a winemaker. 

Luckily for you, you don’t need formal training or to become a winemaker in order to assess and buy wine like a pro. You just need a simple roadmap.

If you finally want confidence around your love of wine, I created this course to give you the shortcuts I never had...

When You Finish This Course, You’ll:

  • Transform yourself into a more informed consumer that selects amazing wines to buy & drink (by learning the key fundamentals pros use to assess wine quality, without getting bogged down in the tiny details of an advanced Somm curriculum)

  • Be able to identify an exceptional wine from a basic one by knowing the key building blocks that every wine possess

  • Have the simple tips and tricks you need to properly smell and taste wines to better observe and describe the nuances of what's in your glass
