Here are Some of the Topics I have Addressed . . .
- Fast Track to Wine Service - Designed for but not
limited to new, casual or temporary wait staff, this course covers
everything staff need to know to effectively recommend and serve
wine.
"Loved it! Interesting, informative, fun"
- The Art of Being Frugal - The "Frugal One"
shares a dozen tips on how to maximize your wine budget and get
the best value.
"Wonderful - full of valuable wine info"
- Wine Tasting: an Event to Remember - A wine tasting
is a natural fit or foundation for almost any event. This seminar
covers the mechanics of orchestrating a wine tasting for a large
audience, and integrating it into your event, regardless of size.
"Speaker was well prepared, knowledgeable,
interesting"
- Raise a Glass to the Happy Couple - Wine has traditionally
been required at a wedding. Here's how to successfully choose,
present and integrate wine on this important occasion.
"Well organized. Presenter was excellent"

- Taste Wine Like An Expert: A nose training boot camp
- This seminar on the sensory evaluation of wine escorts
the audience through the steps of wine appreciation, with emphasis
on classic wine types and "nose training" exercises.
"Loved it. Learned everything I was hoping
to make good wine-food
pairings and detect smells and flavours"
- A Wine Writer’s Life - Sip a few wines, write
a few pithy words, and fame and fortune will follow. Or will
it? (Presented to the AWO 2005 Conference)
"Fantastic!"
- Zen and the Art of Wine Appreciation - A "beginner’s
mind" approach to wine sets aside preconceptions about wine,
thereby enabling the taster to experience any wine "for
the first time".
"An excellent evening. Informative, enjoyable
wines"
- Guerrilla Wine Tasting: Fast Track to Wine Mastery
- Most wine education seems bent on making wine even more complicated.
But today we're all looking for the condensed version, and not
only because we may be in a hurry. This session cuts through
to the basics, so attendees take away a firm understanding of
all the major table wines.
"Finally: an approach to wine that makes
sense!"
- The "Un-wine" Tasting - It's not always
possible -- or desirable -- to get a liquor permit and start
tasting. But wine tasting is as much about tasting as it is about
wine. This seminar uses non-alcohol products to walk the audience
through the mechanics of wine appreciation. Perfect for events
in public places (such as bookstores).
