Our Story
"Sippin' Pretty" began in 2019 when my daughter and I decided to learn more about wine by taking a Level 1 Wine & Spirit Education Trust course. We both love wine, and teaching, so it came naturally to us that we needed to pass this wine information on to others!
I retired from teaching when covid hit and quickly realized that I needed a hobby. I took a Level 2 & 3 WSET course and a wine and food pairing course. I love wine and I love teaching so offering wine courses seemed the natural thing to do in our 1920's House.
When we think wine, we think of evenings with friends, of meals enhanced by the perfect bottle, and of celebrations.
But purchasing wine can be daunting! There are so many varieties and styles that it is hard to know which to choose.
At "Sippin' Pretty" we will teach you the differences between the grapes, between the methods & techniques of winemaking, and between Old World and New World wines. We will help take the guesswork out of buying wine and let you buy the perfect wine for pairing with tonight's supper, be it Coq au Vin, pizza, or burgers.
We are running 6 different classes for you to choose from.
But seating is limited so please call ahead.
Of course, we will still be offering our "Home Parties" where you can enjoy the tasting in your own home.
But if you want to attend our 1920's Speakeasy, please give us a follow on instagram or Facebook so you know about the special events!
