Wine School Spring Term 2012
A series of 5 entertaining and informative lessons to introduce the wonderland of wine in an inspiring and adventurous way ~ the only silly question will be the one not asked! This term we will be running Level 1 and Level 2 classes simultaneously.
The courses are run by Anne Krebiehl. Anne is studying for her ‘Master of Wine’ as well as being a graduate of the WSET, a wine consultant for London restaurants and a writer. Her work has been published in the Financial Times, Harpers Wine & Spirit, Spectator Drinks Supplement, Decanter and the London Evening Standard. She has harvested and helped to make wine in New Zealand, Germany and Italy. When not writing, studying or travelling, she can be found in the kitchen, the garden or on some vineyard getting her hands dirty. She makes wine exciting and the journey adventurous.
