Description
The idea for Wine Primer came from friends constantly asking for me to teach them wine! It's a distillation of the most important and practical things I've learned about wine throughout my journey becoming a sommelier.
I can't tell you how much I wish this course existed when I got started in wine. It would have saved me SO much time, money, and effort.
Plus, most wine courses out there are overly academic and boring—but not Wine Primer!
I hope you enjoy!

In 2016, Kyle Weeks left his finance job at Apple to move to New York City to attend culinary school on a James Beard Scholarship. While there, he realized his culinary school had a top-tier wine program. Kyle completed the wine program, studying under ten Master Sommeliers en route to becoming a Certified Sommelier.
He's passionate about teaching people the fundamentals of wine so they don't have to "learn it the hard way."
