"Isabelle packaged her extensive experience into this program to help you learn how to listen to your nose. the PATH is an excellent introduction to wine tasting. It complements the Wine Aroma Wheel I created to change the wine language from vague and non-descriptive to specific and meaningful. Highly recommended."

Your course instructor and wine tasting coach
"I took the WSET Level 1 and Level 2 courses in which I learned the wine lexicon and discovered 40 aromas. However, I was not taught about the potential aroma sources or how to practice aroma identification at home. I now feel more confident to train myself and to describe wine aroma."

""Isabelle has put together a different wine appreciation course focused on the aroma of wine, and she even shows you how to make the aroma at home. This course is very relevant for the wine enthusiast. "

Tasting wine is confusing; a lot is happening.
By the end of this module, you'll stop wondering what are all these sensations on your palate when you taste wine!
You didn't learn to identify aromas at school. Your teachers made sure you recognized shapes, colors, and objects correctly. No one taught you how to identify your food by smell only, without any visual cues.
Forget what you learned in wine appreciation classes. In fact, you learned there what each wine style should taste and not how to use your senses to taste wine.
At this stage of the program, you'll be ready to start your wine aroma training at home.
