Want to Learn What Actually Matters?

Each week throughout 2026, I’ll guide you through a new discovery—a grape variety, a wine region, a tasting technique, or a seasonal pairing.

But this isn’t about memorizing facts or impressing others. It’s about developing genuine sensory awareness and finding joy in the practice of paying attention.

Who Is This For?

For Wine Enthusiasts who want to deepen their appreciation and knowledge while maintaining the joy and pleasure that drew them to wine in the first place.

For Curious Beginners who feel intimidated by wine culture but genuinely want to learn and discover without judgment or pressure.

For Anyone who believes that slowing down and paying attention makes life richer.

You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need an extensive wine collection or a refined palate. You just need curiosity and the willingness to slow down for five minutes once a week.

What You’ll Discover Throughout 2026, we’re exploring:

January – Spring: The Wines of France

Journey through France’s legendary wine regions—from Bordeaux to Burgundy, Champagne to the Rhône Valley, Loire to Languedoc. Discover why France has been the gold standard of wine for centuries and learn to recognize the unique terroirs that make each region distinct.

January Special: Mindful January

We begin the year with a focus on mindfulness and presence—learning to truly taste rather than just consume. This month-long practice sets the foundation for developing sensory awareness throughout the year.

3. Your Palate, Your Truth

I’ll share tasting notes and what to look for, but you’ll always be encouraged to trust your own experience. Your palate is unique. What you taste is valid.

4. Affordable Accessibility

Each week includes recommendations at multiple price points. You don’t need expensive wines to develop your palate—you need attention and practice.
