I love wine personally and I am a consummate student, so it just made sense. I started with the WSET Level 2 (a weekend class, all good, and for fun). Then I immediately enrolled in WSET Level 3 (one night a week for a few weeks, all good, still for fun). I then explored the WSET Level 4 Diploma program and realized that it was a three-year process and cost a few thousand dollars! I decided that I had had my fun and that I was done. I didn\u2019t need to go that far for fun or for a hobby. A year later I got the itch and decided to pursue the Diploma program. What did I have to lose? A few thousand dollars and a lot of hours, it turns out!<\/p><p>As I started the program, I decided to launch a wine blog and a social media presence. I dubbed my project SOMMspirations: wine inspirations from a sommelier. \u00a0I had just seen the movie <i>Somm <\/i>and saw more and more people interested in the wine industry and these pseudo-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 celebrity wine figures. I launched the blog in order to document my arduous WSET Diploma journey. Little did I know that was my entry into the wine business. I was a wine writer and communicator and didn\u2019t even know it. I developed relationships with producers and PR firms. Once I finished the Diploma program in 2018, I launched the wine education arm of my business. I specialized in fun and approachable wine education as a team-building activity in corporate settings. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>When COVID hit, the events side of my business halted and has been in hibernation ever since. I did take the wine education side and quickly pivoted it virtual. And I mean quick! My first Virtual Vino wine tasting was on March 19, 2020, with 120 registrations! I knew I was onto something, and the rest (as they say) is history. I saw that wineries were starting to offer small- format tasting sets for shipping across the country. I now have 15 producers I work with who offer these tasting sets. I work with corporate clients, non-profits, and individuals to offer high-quality, fun, and approachable virtual wine tastings. To date, I have seen over 2,500 faces across my Zoom screen and 2020 was my best year in business EVER.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1c95c6 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d1c95c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-small\">2.
