Learn by tasting! Try as much wine as you can–whether it’s at wineries, restaurants or at home. Nothing beats experience. We also recommend sommelier courses like the Napa Valley Wine Academy and winemaking courses at UC Davis; see our blog post on our experience learning about wine online in the COVID era.
In addition to wine courses, working at a winery for practical knowledge is the best method. We’ve written several blog posts about how to get a harvest position at a winery, so make sure to check them out.
Wine can be an intimidating subject. But it doesn’t have to be. As long as you have a thirst for knowledge (no pun intended) and don’t take things too seriously, you’ll be fine. See our handy wine for beginners guide to get started.
