Ever sip a wine and think, “I like it… but I have no idea why”? Welcome to The Elements of Tasting—where we turn mystery juice into something you can actually decode. Led by certified sommelier and wine educator Thomas Allen, You’ll learn the fundamentals (acid, tannin, alcohol, body, aromas, and more), how to spot them in the glass, and how to talk about wine without sounding like a medieval poet. Through guided tasting techniques and clear, practical examples, you’ll learn how to spot balance, describe what you’re experiencing in plain English, and choose wines you’ll actually enjoy—whether you’re shopping, ordering at a restaurant, or hosting friends. It’s education with a wink—because wine is serious, but you don’t have to be. This course is designed to go hand in hand with The Elements of Wine, which delves deeper into wine, grapes, terroir, and winemaking, helping you understand why you like the wines you do.
