Description
Wine 101: The Less Is More Approach
(Foundational Course)
Course Overview
Wine 101: The Less Is More Approach is a foundational, confidence-building course designed to help you understand, choose, and enjoy wine without intimidation, overwhelm, or unnecessary jargon.
This course strips wine down to what actually matters — taste, context, and personal preference — so you can navigate wine with ease in everyday life, restaurants, travel, and social settings.
Why This Course
Wine education often feels exclusionary and overly complex. This course was created to replace confusion with clarity and enjoyment.
Perfect for beginners, return learners, and anyone who wants a practical, modern relationship with wine. And inspired by Charles’s first wine education book, “The Less Is More Approach To Wine.”
