Big things are pouring at the Wine School this summer . Meet our 2025 Sommelier Student of the Year, then check out the fast-track certification courses everyone’s talking about—plus two fan favorites: Wine 101 and Exotic Wines. Want insider perks? Join the Wine Club and make this your summer of wine.

Please raise a (virtual) glass for Anna Binkovitz, who just earned the title of Sommelier Student of the Year. If you’ve ever been in class with her, you already know why—Anna brings brains, wit, warmth, and just the right amount of chaos to everything she does. She went from poetry slams to service management at one of Rittenhouse’s best wine spots, and somehow still found time to crush the Advanced Program. We’re proud. We’re a little intimidated. We’re absolutely thrilled she found her way to us.

And a big thank you to Paul Vigna for announcing Anna's big win over at The Patriot-News:  Former slam poet masters language of wine, named Philly school’s top sommelier student
