About the Art of Oenology - The Online Wine Course with Justin Leone
Music and wine are Justin Leone's passions. A rock star of the wine world, he is one of the world's best sommeliers and has also made a name for himself as a specialist author. In his online wine course, he teaches you everything you need to know about wine. You will learn how to taste wine properly and how to recognise and classify aromas and flavours.
The wine course for beginners explains the architecture and character of different wines. You will learn what makes a good vintage and how the ripeness of the grapes at harvest influences the flavour. Justin also explains in his course how wine changes in the bottle as it matures.
He continues with information on which wine goes with which food and which glasses you need. You will learn how to decant wine professionally and serve it in style. During the wine course, you will receive tips on how to set up your own wine cellar and will be able to describe the flavour clearly and comprehensibly at the next wine tasting.
Together with VDP President Christmann, the master sommelier will present individual grape varieties. It is a kind of online or virtual wine tasting, where you will also learn a lot about French and Italian wine. With his own band, Justin also provides music to accompany the wine.
