Who This Is For
You like wine, but feel like you’re guessing
You want to feel more confident ordering at restaurants
You’re tired of buying bottles you don’t love
You’ve been curious about learning more but not in a stuffy, academic way
If you’ve ever said “I don’t really know anything about wine, I just know what I like” this is for you.
Wine doesn’t have to be confusing, intimidating, or reserved for “special occasions.” It just hasn’t been explained to you the right way … yet.
OI Summer School is a 10-week series designed to give you the confidence to actually use wine in real life. Not memorize it. Not overthink it. Use it.
Each week, we tackle a different piece of the puzzle from how to taste and identify what you like, to navigating wine lists, shopping smarter, pairing with food, and finally… not ruining a good bottle once you get it home. Register for the classes you need or bring a friend who may need some help.

Week 3 — Sweet, Dry, and Everything In Between

You’ll learn the difference between actual sugar and perceived sweetness, how acidity changes everything, and how to avoid accidentally buying wines that don’t match your taste. Includes a four-wine tasting that spans the full spectrum.
