June Webinar Dates for New Wine Fundamentals & Flavor Balancing

The first two New Wine Fundamentals Webinars were a great success. Participants from all around the globe, including Istanbul and China, joined in making these a truly international phenomenon.

Due to the amount of information covered the wine and food component, “Flavor Balancing, the UN-pairing of Wine and Food” will be offered as a separate series with a full two hours devoted to the topic. It is recommended that the New Wine Fundamentals is taken as a prerequisite to the Flavor Balancing Webinar.

“I think this was fabulous training. First of all, his new wine fundamentals are exactly in line with the way we feel about how people should get their arms around wine in general. Second, if I had this training beforehand, it would have dramatically (and will) altered the way I worked with some of our new hires. In fact, I intend to adopt his Vinotyping ideas as I taste with people. His (Tim’s) approach is iconoclastic and appropriate. He is not asking us to throw out the rules. He is challenging us to examine why those rules exist and align our "rules" to the reality of our customers. If we are successful, we can create a whole new cadre of wine-drinkers who are fearless to drink wine they like, unashamed of why they like the wine, and take every and appropriate advantage of the critical reviews our wines receive.” 

The New Wine Fundamentals Webinar is a 2 hour “train the trainer” session that includes the Vinotype and sensory insights components of my New Wine Fundamentals program. You can sign up for yourself, or have any employees, associates or friends join as well, by signing up for one of the Webinars (link below). Let me know if you have any questions and love to have you jump on board to help change the thinking of the wine industry! My wine and food principles now replace ‘wine and food matching/pairing’ as part of the curriculum for the Wine & Spirits Education Trust.
