Gnothi Wine School
OCDevel LLC
Learn about wine from first glass to intermediate level. Gnothi Wine School is a wine podcast you can take as a wine course online or in any podcast app. You don't need any wine vocabulary or even a glass in hand: each term is explained as it comes up, and the tasting exercises are optional.The course starts with what wine is and how to taste it, so you can describe a wine's structure, write a short tasting note and recognize a faulty bottle. Then it teaches what you'll use on the next bottle you open: the major grapes, starting with Pinot noir and its history in the Willamette Valley, then labels and buying, and storing, serving and pairing wine with food. The vineyard and winery lessons that follow explain the differences you've already met in the glass. After them come sparkling and other special styles, the laws that tie a wine to its place of origin, and the world's wine regions. The course ends with the business of wine.Oregon's Willamette Valley is the course's home ground. Ea
