WINE
LESSONS: The ``Grape
Goddess Guide to Wine'' is almost like a daily devotional for anyone
who wants to learn more about all things vinous. The one-minute
lessons -- which are part pep talk, part education -- arrive Monday
through Friday by e-mail. There's a text component, such as a tip or
an exercise, and an audio component from the Grape Goddess herself,
Master Sommelier Catherine Fallis, a Bay Area educator, writer and
consultant.
In 1997, Fallis became only the fifth
woman in the world to achieve the title of Master Sommelier. But
don't let the lofty title fool you: She's very down-to-earth and a
staunch opponent of wine snobbery.
The programs come in two levels,
beginner and intermediate. For now, there is no version available
for Macintosh. Thirty one-minute lessons are $9.95; for $19.95, you
get 60 of them. To sign up, go to www.planetgrape.com.
The site also has some sample lessons. |
