Dear Wine Lover,

I'm often bemused by one of the great obvious truths about wine, namely, that it can be enjoyed without the imbiber having a single iota of knowledge about its age, its cost or whether it speaks French, Italian, Californian.

I give you now the other truth about wine: The more you know about its origins, its character, its value, and its ability to add magic to an already magical dinner, the greater and more lasting your pleasure.

I know this from my own 30 years in the realm of the grape and from the ongoing comments I receive from students who have benefited from the Windows on the World Wine Course; one of whom you probably know (and whose enthusiasm is probably the reason for your inquiry).

Did I mention also that knowledge means you'll buy better and order smarter?

I guarantee it.

And now, let me uncork the course for you.
