Edjumacation

All my students seem to gape in surprise, and occasionally slump over
Monday morning, and I hope somebody brings an apple for the teacher. I'll be teaching Winemaking Excellence 101 in stunning downtown Coquitlam. It's an educational program I developed as part of our Authorised Retailer Program. Since Winexpert wants every retailer to have the tools and information necessary to guarantee a good winemaking experience for their customers, we had to set standards and convey them. It's a six hour course, with six quizzes and a final exam involving wine component tastings.

See? Stirring muscles are in full rigor: this man was making wine!
It makes for a long day, but everyone agrees that the time goes fast, especially after the wine-tasting part. Next week I'll be doing it all over again in Victoria--I hope everyone can stay awake for it!

Has Wine Expert ever thought about doing the Winemaking Excellence 101 class for the general public? I see the value in training the retailers but consumers are more finicky/temperamental. They can quickly assign blame to the manufacturer for mistakes made by the maker. Just a though. Have a great evening.Don
