Select Reviews on Christine’s Live Online Courses:

“I rounded up 8 friends and we had Christine lead a Zoom wine tasting on Memorial Day. None of us missed being on the beach because we had 90 minutes of liquid fun! We all bought the same wines she suggested and learned her six tips to drink better for less.”

“Thank you to Christine for sharing her knowledge with us via an online tasting — it was the highlight of our week. Now we really look forward to taking a class with her in person.”

“My wife and I have taken 5 classes with Christine in her home and the last one via Zoom was just as much fun. We did the New World vs. Old World wine class tasting four grape varieties made in two different styles— CA versus France.  I’m a cabernet dude and my wife is a Pinot freak.  So when we did the blind pairings we were amazed we could not only smell and taste the difference between the two styles, but even better, nailed which was which.  And to our surprise, each of us loved the “Old World” style a bit better. Thanks Wine Diva for another mind-bending experience.”

“Christine’s Zoom wine tasting was an extraordinarily FUN journey into the confusing (for me) eco-scape of Italy. This is my third class with her and won’t be my last. She introduced me to delicious new wines at reasonable restaurant price points that took me out of my ‘go-to’ comfort zone, which I loved.”

“The Wine Diva has the antidote for the pandemic blues.  We had a French wine tasting focusing on food and wine pairing that was a truly special evening.  Three couples, four bottles of red and four of white, and two hours of fun.  Christine explained in a clear and unpretentious way what we should all look for in a food-friendly wine, and helped me understand my personal preferences. Doing the tasting via Zoom was fun, easy and a perfect way to socialize with friends, old and new.”

“I did a Zoom wine tasting with Christine and learned a lot about Italian whites and reds, how to remember the wine names, what foods to drink them with, and definitely some new affordable wines to buy.  It was great fun and I hope to do it again soon.”

Select Reviews on Christine’s Private Wine Classes:

“Christine is such a knowledgeable and engaging presenter, I’ll never look at those wines I tasted without thinking of her funny mnemonic cues as a way to remember the foreign wine names.”

“I hung Christine’s every word and she made learning about wine so much fun!”

“I drink wine but I’ve never known anything about it. Because I love to throw parties and plan events, I decided it was time to learn. Now I know how to order wine at dinner, wine for a party, and I’m not afraid to try new varieties.”

“Whoever said that learning can’t be fun never attended one of Christine’s wine classes!”

"The class was GREAT fun! We are all competitive and the wine quiz for prizes was a nice touch. I wish I had won the Cork Pop! Even after just one course, I feel so much more confident choosing wines and ordering in a restaurant."
