The world of wine is rich in history and craftsmanship. Each bottle is the result of careful attention and planning. In fact, despite what wine snobs may think, no one person will ever know everything about wine.<\/p>\nThe world of wine is rich in history and craftsmanship. Each bottle is the result of careful attention and planning. In fact, despite what wine snobs may think, no one person will ever know everything about wine.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s\u00a0crazy-intimidating\u00a0\u2013 especially when you can\u2019t seem to get that gosh-darn cork out of the bottle.<\/p>\n
From our experience, most people are \u2013 secretly or not-so-secretly \u2013 completely lost when it comes to wine. Which, honestly, is a-ok\u2026unless, of course, you\u2019re staring down at the 800-page wine menu at your business dinner.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s why we\u2019re here: To help you supercharge your know-how so you can sip wine like a pro.<\/p>\n

But she also developed an obsession \u2013 not just for tasting new wine (duh), but also for learning about the history, the process, the winemaking techniques, and the winemakers\u2019 stories. Serena has moonlighted in wineries, wine bars, and as a wine journalist ever since.<\/p>\n She is a\u00a0certified specialist of wine<\/a>\u00a0and active member with\u00a0the\u00a0Society of Wine Educators<\/a>, a Diploma in Wines candidate from the\u00a0Wine & Spirit Education Trust<\/a>. She is also an adjunct wine professor at Drexel University.<\/p>\n Serena has an MBA from Claremont Graduate University\u2019s Peter Drucker School of Management and began her career as a journalist, PR, and marketing strategy professional in the higher education, food and wine, health, and lifestyle industries before succumbing to her passion for wine education. <\/p>\n In 2003, Mike created a popular restaurant and dining blog, Main Line Dine, (long before \u201cblog\u201d was a household word), which focused on Philadelphia\u2019s Western suburbs. Little did he know that it would spark a passion for wine, in addition to food.<\/p>\n Mike joined WAID as an instructor in 2019. He is now a certified Italian Wine Ambassador with the VinItaly International Academy and has written for Wine Enthusiast, Palate Press, Home + Table, and Edible Philly. He is also the author of Lost Mount Penn: Wineries, Railroads and Resorts of Reading<\/a>, a book about the nineteenth century food and wine destination right here in Pennsylvania.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Get our bi-monthly newsletter right in your inbox<\/p>\nPrivate Events<\/h4>\n
