“What’s the Best Way to Approach These Masterclass Recordings?” Originally, we released new lessons every week. But why make you wait? With these short masterclass recordings, you can learn and enjoy at your own pace. That said, we do recommend starting at the introduction and working your way through the videos in their numerical order.

Don’t miss the bonus lesson, in which Julien takes you on a tour of one of the world’s most fascinating – yet little known – wine region.
