What’s Holding You Back?
Do any of these sound familiar?
- “I don’t understand wine jargon.”
- “I don’t think I’ll ever understand (or taste) wine ‘properly’.”
- “I’m afraid of choosing the wrong wine and wasting money.”
- “I only drink one type of wine—I’m not sure how to try others.”
These doubts are common but no longer need to define your wine journey. With Your Wine PhD Online Course, you’ll gain the tools, confidence, and skills to move from uncertainty to mastery.
👉 THE TRUTH IS: You don’t need an expensive sommelier certification to elevate your wine knowledge. You just need the right mentor and system to guide you.
Hi, I’m Anne – Your Wine Guide
Welcome! I’m Anne Kjellgren, a Level 3 Sommelier, French Wine Scholar and wine educator.
I didn’t have a traditional journey into the world of wine – I started as a curious host who loved entertaining friends and wanted to understand wine better.
Without a mentor to guide me, I struggled a bit before finding the opportunity to dive in headfirst into the art, science, history and culture of wine. Now I want to be the mentor I never had and inspire others to drink wine with confidence and curiosity.
Through Food Wine & Flavor and Your Wine PhD, I teach wine lovers of all levels in a very unconventional way.
Let’s demystify wine, broaden your palate and empower you to choose, pair and drink wine with confidence.
Let’s change the way you eat, drink and the way you look at wine. You deserve the best. Can’t wait to share this with you! 🍷
There are very few things that have happened in human history, of much importance, where there wasn’t a good bottle of wine nearby…
Look at ancient history, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the economic dynamics of the Church since the Middle Ages, Napolean’s military dominance and strategies used during both World Wars…wine played a part in all of it!

This wine tasting was the best wine experience I’ve ever had! I learned SO much and gained so much knowledge that I have already shared with some of my friends and family! I got so many wine recommendations and am so excited to share with the people in my life 🙂
Our Wine PhD weekend was the best! Great location! Everyone got along great, lots of laughter and joy, and of course great food! I loved how we got to test our senses and try varietals that we wouldn’t “typically” go for! It was such a treat, I wish it lasted longer!
Awesome experience! Both fun and informative! Anne was great and I highly recommend this to anyone interested in tasting and learning about wine.
Anne blends her knowledge and love of wine with her engaging personality to put guests quickly at ease. She imparted a lot of information in a short amount of time, answering questions, sharing historic tidbits, and keeping everyone interested.
At dinner with some friends and I’m totally curating the wines!! Thanks for all of the education!
Anne is creative, extremely knowledgeable, and makes wine tastings fun and approachable! Anne creates a safe space for learning, exploring, and asking questions about each of the wines. She knows how to “read the room” and guide the class based on the guests. I can’t recommend Anne enough; she has created an incredible experience!
I enjoyed the historical context to the wine regions and gaining an understanding of the differences between those regions in the wine. Collectively, we enjoyed the personal touch it had as well.
