Bridging Passions
The Violin Lab is the Internet’s first and most comprehensive online violin course designed specifically for adult learners, offering an affordable, step-by-step path from the very beginning to violin mastery by Beth Blackerby, a professional violinist.
But this is not about violin classes, though, or is it?
It’s about learning how to appreciate wine better. But regardless of the nature of your quest or thirst for ‘savoir fair’, just Googling it is never going to be the answer.
Relying on a secret algorithm to sort information into a simulacrum of knowledge isn’t going to work. Instead of piecing together bits of information on YouTube, you ought to find a clever course that offers you the prospect of meaningful progression whether that is in the way you articulate the bow or your taste impressions.
When trying to teach yourself the violin, randomly dabbling in this and that and never taking any structured lessons that help you truly understand advanced concepts can be disastrous. Trying to understand wine by looking up things all over the World Wide Web will draw equally frustrating parallels.
Beyond Academic Pursuit
Just like music, wine has the power to evoke emotions and bring people together and it too has stories to tell. And, indeed, you can now learn to appreciate it without stepping foot in a traditional classroom thanks to structured online, distance learning classes, which are cost-effective and save time.
While understanding the historical and geographical context of wine can certainly enrich one’s experience, I strongly recommend Internet classes that are designed to foster a deeper, more personal journey into the world of wine like the curriculum at Wine Campus (about which I am about to tell you more).
The wine appreciation programme emphasizes self-reflection and exploration of individual taste preferences. By engaging with wine on a personal level, you will not only learn about different styles and production techniques but also discover what truly resonates with your own palate. This holistic approach cultivates a more profound appreciation for wine, transforming it into a personal celebration rather than just an academic pursuit.
Furthermore, the online ‘University Wine Course‘ (which I oversee) provides unique insights into the wine business, empowering wine enthusiasts with knowledge that extends beyond just tasting. In today’s complex wine market, understanding the economics and trends shaping the industry can significantly enhance your wine purchasing and tasting decisions. The course’s contents connect the dots between personal taste and broader industry dynamics, allowing followers to approach wine with both passion and acumen.
Wine Campus’ frillless but engaging online platform fosters a community where you can share experiences, ask questions, and learn from a wine pro with 25 years of experience (me), which makes the classes not only informative but also uniquely valuable.
Get a Mentor
Just as you can take violin lessons with renowned instructors from around the world via online platforms, wine education can offer the same access.
Whether you’re learning to perfect your bowing technique or to discern the subtle notes of a fine Cabernet, the expertise is nowadays in our tech-savvy society just a click away, but only if you subscribe to a course that gives you access to pros sharing their knowledge and passion, guiding you through the complexities of the new world you are about to discover.
I recommend that you sign up for a course that goes beyond merely memorizing facts about a wine’s origin or vintage; one that comes with a mentor who is an expert in the field and readily accessible.
I don’t play the violin, but luckily I know how to tap into your budding wine understanding. I build on it with my teachings to lay a solid foundation for you to advance your wine appreciation to the next level.
