We went to an extreme beer class. Class was incredible. Very informative and instructor was willing to stay after to answer questions. He was very personable and knowledgeable. Left having learned a good deal and having tried some great beers!
Good value for money wine course. We took an introductory course and enjoyed it although some of the wines werent quite to our liking. Would definately do another course but would choose wisely next time
We took the wine class. It was very informative and fun class. The instructor, was terrific. Her family owns a vineyard, so she was very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed her discussing the history and wine culture. She clearly had a passion for wine. The wines we tasted were all good.
Very informative and relaxed except be prepared that if you disagree with the elder Sr. instructor that you will be ignored and he will 'call on' his previous guests that know how to answer with his expectations.
I appreciate learning but would have enjoyed audience participation was wasn't dismissed but rather embraced. The previous night at Friday night wine flight, Ristorante Panorama was head and shoulders above this night with them hosting a winery family member from Southern Tuscany, Fattoria de Magliano.
At the wine school, a few of the wines were excellent and it was great to compare them against each other and understand why their similarities / differences.
It was odd to hear that the best Italian wines at this 'best of the best' winery are to always be eaten with food but food was not available and also not able to BYOF (food). Surprising to hear that this is a top ranked wine school.
I prefer seasoned wine merchants who have tastings every day (MacAdoodles in the Ozarks) and wine reps at tasting events plus of course speaking with winery employees / family compared to this school.
Had a great time here at the Wine School. A very unique experience for my wife and I alike. She is more of a wine expert, and I am new to the game. We both learned a great deal and had a ton of fun. We too a class with Keith and he was quite a card. Can't enough about the Wine School Of Philly!
Took a 101 class at the Wine School in July. The class was actually better than I expected (it was a gift from my wife). Really fun and laid back, which I was not expecting.
The only downside was that a bunch of kids were outside yelling. There is a ice cream store next door (AWFUL, FYI) and these kids were spazzing out on sugar. For the first 10 minutes, they really were annoying.
Other than that, I really had a wonderful time, and will likely go back for another class.
