News & Information
All I Do is Wine
June was a good month and I am happy to start July off with some positive
news. I passed the Society of Wine Educators exam for Certified Specialist of
Wine. This was a big accomplishment for me as I am a huge testphobe.
Perhaps I'll carry on to the next level now. We'll see.
Sadly, Robert Mondavi passed away last month. While he had been sick for
quite some time it still took the wine world by surprise. There are certain to be
many tributes and memorials for this giant in the industry.
I will be heading off for a short holiday this month. First, a total R&R trip to
Florida and then later in the month a working and pleasure trip up to the
Finger Lakes for both my wedding anniversary and to visit with some friends.
Our plan is to drive so that we can bring back as much wine as we want
without having to worry about shipping. I hope the weather isn't too hot then.
Plans are in place for the next wine school sessions. The 6 week course of
"Zita Keeley's Wine School" is set to begin on Monday October 6th.
Registration is now taking place so download a registration form and mail in
your payment today. REGISTER HERE.We also have our online
downloadable course that you can register for as well.
Have a wonderful summer!
Cheers,
Zita
