WINE EDUCATION: \u2018Trade Craft & Industry Insights\u2019<\/h6>\n
The world of wine is fascinating, intriguing, captivating & worth sharing.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\nThere are few greater pleasures, than opening a bottle of wine you carefully selected –\u00a0(or even better, have cellared patiently for a number of years)<\/em>\u00a0and enjoying it with good food and friends.
\nHowever, it can also be an intimidating and confusing subject – as the sheer number of wines and styles available on our retail shelves and wine-lists in New Zealand has never been greater. It can be a process of great confusion selecting the right wine for the right occasion and pairing it with such varied styles of cuisine.
\nI have been working in the wine industry for over 30 years, sharing what I know by educating around the globe, designing insightful, practical, focused & engaging wine experiences for the Trade (Hospitality: Front of House & Chefs) and with the Public.\nMy wine experiences are designed to break down any intimidating factors in a relaxed manor, to help you understand your sensory skills to evaluate, assess & ultimately enjoy wine, along with giving you the vocab to describe what you are tasting or serving.
\nIn addition, I can take you through the stages of the winemaking process, discuss the major grape varietals, talk through and taste a number of wines styles with regional differences from around the wine world, plus explain stemware, decanting, storing-cellaring and serving wine, plus pairing \/ suggesting wines with varied cuisine – plus much more…<\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\"Education-Image-02.2\"\n\t
