Because wine is for everyone.

Here’s a whole lot more on what’s included in the sample course.

The Sample Course

TABLE Of CONTENTS

  • The Wine Industry is built on fear and confusion. That fear and confusion lead to predictable consumer behavior, which, in turn, leads to profitability. Let’s change up the system.

  • In Chapter 3, we learn the 6 S’s Framework for how to taste a glass of wine. It’s a useful toolkit to understand what to do with a wine glass once it’s poured. Spoiler alert: there’s more to it than “just drink it!”

  • In Chapter 4, we begin to establish the tasting framework that we will use over the course of the subsequent few chapters. In the Sample Course, we’ll just get a taste of this framework, but in the Full unPINNED: Wine Course, we explore the entirety of it. Here, we’ll dive into details on the first part of our tasting framework: Aromas.

  • In Chapter 9, we explore wine’s origin story and hear about the discovery of wine in Sakartvelo (Georgia, the country). Isn’t it a bit weird that we all know where sushi comes from, where tacos come from, where pizza comes from, but most of us don’t know where wine comes from?

  • In Chapter 20, we explore some useful heuristics — rules of thumb — for food and wine pairing that we can immediately start using in our day-to-day lives. One myth we debunk? Steak doesn’t always pair with red wine. 🤯

Sample Course benefits

it’s free.

We stand behind our mission that “Wine is for everyone.” That’s why we’re releasing the Sample Course to anyone and everyone for free.

it’s fun.

Wine is meant to be fun. Anyone that takes it seriously to the extent that it stops being fun has corrupted the very thing wine was at its inception.

it’s Informative.

The Sample Course is packed with relevant information on wine that will help you enjoy wine more in your everyday lives, starting from the first chapter you watch.

it’s Mission-driven.

There are over 10,000 known wine grape varietals in the world, and in the U.S. just 20 grapes account for 99% of our wine drinking. Learning more about wine is the first step to changing that.
