I was invited by a friend to attend my first wine tasting. I know absolutely nothing about wine so this event was educational & I learned quite a bit. The presenter Natoscia seemed quite knowledgeable & was patient as there were many questions asked.
I learned alot about wine. She is so knowledgeable and knows alot about the business. Very fun event. You’ll enjoy yourself.
First time I’ve done this. Was interesting and informative. Have found new view of wine learned differences of where from and age. Natoscia is very warm, kind and knowledgeable.

Why host a Tasting Club workshop
Visiting wineries or joining a typical tasting club is enjoyable, but it is not the best way to increase your wine knowledge or experience the great variety of wines the world has to offer. Also, we often feel intimidated and feel our questions might sound “dumb” so we don’t ask them. We leave having enjoyed the experience, but no richer in our understanding. My goal is to provide an atmosphere where we can really analyze what we are tasting, as well as feel free to ask any “dumb” questions. There are no dumb questions. I believe this multi-sensory approach to tasting increases our enjoyment of wine. Because of this fact, I created The Tasting Club.
I am a licensed, independent distributor and I have access to thousands of different wines from vineyards all around the world.
I bring everything we will use to taste through a minimum of six wines. We will learn to identify the characteristics of each wine and unlock the story each bottle has to tell.
I have worked with wine for 30+ years as a sommelier. My education consists of both formal education through California’s premier wine education program at UC Davis and three decades working as a sommelier in fine dining restaurants, wine bars, and grocery stores.
Plan a Workshop
Let’s do a wine tasting together. We will learn to identify the characteristics of each wine and unlock the story each bottle tells.
