Mixing passion with education, Wine Savvy is a niche experiential educational tool that provides both accessible information and a FUN approach to wine.
Classes are held in group settings, tailored to the novice and to the seasoned oenophile. Wine for the want to be "wine savvy". Wine is not reserved for the elite. I don't believe in pretension. If you are drinking wine with someone who makes you feel unintelligent, I say, put the cork back in the bottle and leave! Wine is for everyone and should be FUN and approachable. We are all guilty of resea
rching a cereal before we buy it but are too afraid to ask a question about wine in our wine shop or restaurant. Am I right? We all go into the wine store and make a bee-line for the same wine we always buy and flee the scene. I aim to change that. There are no stupid questions. Wine is really just a geography and vocabulary game. All you need are a couple of "back pocket" wine terms and some curiosity. You will leave class after having tasted 6 wines and you will have the words and confidence to describe what it is you like and don't like (and, as we all know, this can be the tough part). Wine truly is your passport to see the world. So where are my intrepid travelers? About me:
Sayle Milne is a New York City transplant from Cleveland,Tennessee. While working in video production, she produced a piece about a local wine bar. From that moment, she traded her bourbon for Bordeaux and her affair with the grape began. Since 2007, Sayle has been a passionate student for all things wine. She is a graduate of Kevin Zraly’s WINDOWS ON THE WORLD WINE SCHOOL and is an Advanced Certificate Holder with the WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust.) Sayle’s mission is to combine her love of wine and her knack for teaching, bringing wine to the masses. She longs to make wine fun, the information accessible and relatable, and to forever end the days of people buying wine based on the cutest critter on the label. When she is not studying wine, drinking wine, teaching wine and sharing wine, she can be found dancing, running long distances, and listening to her very bi-polar iTunes playlists.
