The Grape Goddess Guides are to-the-point roadmaps, providing just enough of the basics to get you started, and are decadently laced with juicy insider tips, anecdotes, and guidance from the goddess herself, a straight-shooting intergalactic traveler who calls it like it is, challenging current industry practices and trends and sharing tips and insights from her illustrious and colorful career. “On Planet Grape, wine is a part of the meal, not a cocktail.”

Where else can you get six weeks of expert personal tutoring at this price?

Master Sommelier Catherine Fallis, Founder and President of Planet Grape© LLC, guest host on NBC-11 TV’s Wine Country Living, and Adjunct Instructor of Wine and Food at the Culinary Institute of America-Greystone, created the Grape Goddess Guides to Good Living to give all Earthlings a chance to learn about life’s simpler and more decadent pleasures without the intimidation factor.

Wine columnist Laurie Daniel of the San Jose Mercury News says about the wine series:

“The one-minute lessons are part pep talk, part education, almost like a daily devotional for anyone who wants to learn more about all things vinous.

Everyone yearns for 'La Dolce Vita', the sweet life. Grape Goddess demystifies, clarifies, and charts out a course for immediate results-a richer, more visceral, sensually charged daily life."

Lessons arrive each day, Monday through Friday, complete with text, graphics and sound. Each lesson takes just a few minutes and builds on the previous lessons. The program requires a PC that is connected to the internet. A MAC version is not available at the present time.
