Hey! Let's talk about wine and spirits!

Whether you are beginning your wine and spirits journey or are looking to enhance your knowledge and skill set I have online courses to help you along the way. They are all self paced video lessons, some with downloads for extra info. Every enrollment includes full access to your course anytime, email access to me and periodic wine or spirits report via email. I believe that every bottle tells a story and I want to give you some tools so you can hear and interpret those stories!

Hi there! I'm Shona

I'll be your guide for these courses!

I'm so excited you're here and grateful for the opportunity to share my passion and knowledge with you. I believe that every bottle tells a story and my goal for these courses is to give you some tools to hear those stories. My favorite things about wine and spirits are that you can never know it all, everyone likes something different and no one is wrong! I've been studying wine for a lot of years and am still in the service industry so I learn new things all the time. It's a lifelong journey and this is the first step for some, another step for others. If you need clarification on anything or just want to share a story please send me a message or email and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!
