    Mixed feelings on this experience. The best part of the wine tasting was the sommelier who was wonderful and facilitated a great class. I genuinely learned from him and he made it approachable and fun! But the space itself was a little awkward and it didn't really allow for anyone to linger and continue drinking any of the wines we tasted or try another wine afterwards.

    The instructor was informative and engaging. I learned a lot from the class and would definitely do another one. My only complaint was that we lost some time because there were issues regarding registration, so it felt a bit rushed toward the end. Other than that, I had a great experience.

    Ryan was amazing! He’s an extremely good teacher and very helpful. I almost feel like the course could’ve been longer- there was so much to talk about! The pacing was great, though!

    I learned a lot from this instructor including how to best breakdown what I was smelling and what I was tasting in the 4 wines that we tried. He was a great person to help make wine more approachable.

    The class was pretty great. I went with a few friends and we were able to catch up between tastings as the class was pretty relaxed. So we learned, chatted, and drank. What else could you want!

Students have generally positive things to say about classes at Wine Tasting 101. They appreciate the educational aspect of the class and the opportunity to learn about different types of wines that they may not have known about before. The instructors are described as knowledgeable and engaging, making the learning experience enjoyable. Overall, students feel that they learned a lot from the class and would consider taking more in the future. Quotes: 1. "I learned a lot from this instructor including how to best breakdown what I was smelling and what I was tasting in the 4 wines that we tried. He was a great person to help make wine more approachable." 2. "I wish there were a wider variety of wines we tasted; sweet (light body), semi-sweet (medium) and transition to dry (full body). The wines were more so semi-dry to dry with earthy, oak flavors only. Please include semi-sweet and sweet to engage wine drinkers who may prefer that." 3. Wow the instructor was so informative and fun at same time! We learned so much from understanding the terminology to how wine is made and processed, we loved the experience so much!"
