“Wine brightens the life and thinking of anyone”
I’m joining the great team at Vitis House in Raleigh to offer the fantastic WSET Level 3 course. This is an advanced course, perfect for anyone serious about wine and especially those in the wine trade (but passionate consumers love it too!)
The course begins Saturday, August 9 & 10, 2025 and continues the following weekend, ending on Sunday, August 17, 2025 with the final exam. This exam does include a blind tasting of two wines and everyone is very worried about this because Levels 1 and 2 don’t have a tasting exam. In fact, after tasting dozens of wines with me in class you will have your tasting skills at a very high level. You w3ill also receive plenty of coaching for the four “short answer” questions that make up more than half the total exam score. We give you plenty of homework to study and extensive coaching in class to have you in the best position possible to do well on the exam.
For a further description of what Level 3 entails, please check my course description page here.
If you want to take Level 3 I encourage you to register well in advance - as soon as you register, we’ll send youd the text, workbook and the Level 3 SAT. You definitely want to have a chance to read these through a couple of times before the first class session - there’s a lot of wine here!

I look forward to seeing you in class!!
