You’re one of the first to see the new version of my wine course


Hey Reader,

Back in July, you checked out The Wine Cellar Blueprint — maybe you came to my free workshop, clicked the course page, or almost joined.

Since then, I've made some changes.

After the July launch, I spent a lot of time listening to what people responded to most — both from founding students and from people who went through the workshop.

And one thing kept coming up:

You wanted more of the wine confidence piece.

How do I taste a wine and actually understand what I’m experiencing?

How do I walk into a wine shop and choose something I’ll probably love without second-guessing myself?

How do I pair wine with dinner without memorizing a giant rulebook?

So I reworked the course to put those skills front and center.

It’s now called Wine Confidence: The Complete System. Tasting, buying, and pairing — the things you actually use all the time — are the foundation. From there, we get into building and maintaining a wine collection that makes sense for you.

Because you were already paying attention back in July, I wanted to give you first access to this new version before I open it up more broadly next week.

Through this Friday, September 25 at 9pm PT, you can join for $149 instead of $199.

And during this early-access window, I’m also including a bonus of my Personalized Cellar Plan — a $150 value. Once you finish the course, you’ll tell me about your palate, what you love to drink, your budget, and what you want to have on hand, and I’ll personally create a curated wine-buying list for you.

One of my founding students, Anthony, says: "I used to just grab whatever bottle looked interesting and hope for the best — I was definitely wasting money. Now I actually understand why certain wines work with food, what I like, and I can make a decision at a shop or a restaurant without second-guessing myself. And hosting feels completely different."

And I want this to feel low-risk: start the course, do the tasting exercises, and put what you're learning into practice. If you don't feel more confident with wine, email me within 30 days and I'll refund you.

This isn't for someone looking for a wine certification or another pile of tasting notes to memorize. It's for wine lovers who want to understand what they like — and feel confident choosing, tasting, pairing, and talking about wine in real life.

Early access closes this Friday, September 25 at 9pm PT. After that, the $50 discount and Personalized Cellar Plan go away.

Questions? Just hit reply — I read everything!

Cheers,
Meg
