, I hope you are enjoying your summer. We just started our Summer Wine School! This week is our Accelerated Core, and next week is the National Wine School's Teacher Training. I'm going to be very busy indeed!

Not sure if you've been to our website recently, but I wanted to give you a heads-up. Our autumn and winter classes are already selling out (yikes!). If you are considering attending wine school this fall, you should take a look asap. 

Our Sommelier Smackdown: Italy is coming up in September, which will be super fun. There are plenty of other great new events coming up, too! 

We also have three significant new perks coming to our members. 

Uncorked: The Wine Trade Newsletter. This is the National Wine School's wine trade newsletter. This newsletter costs $20/month but is now free to our members. 

Luxury Apartment at the Wine School. Did you know the school maintains a set of executive suites in our building? When available members can access long-term rentals at prices significantly below market prices when available. 

Vacations at the School's Country House in Maine.  

In partnership with the National Wine School, we maintain a cottage for VIPs in midcoast Maine. It's a lovely home tucked into 70 acres of forest in Midcoast, Maine. We expect this will be available for our members in the last quarter of 2024. 

FYI, updated pricing for NEW members will go into effect soon. Sign up now, and lock in the current price of $18.99/month now & forever. We never raise the rates for existing members.
