Yes please! I’d love to appreciate more!
I was a loser on the last one, so I’d better throw my hat in for this one and hope for the best! :-)
And me please! :D
I’d definitely put what I’d learn on this course to good use in my everyday drinking ;)
Oh gosh, yes, I could do with some education on the wine front!
Pick me! Pick me!
Great idea. Sounds like a good way to spend a bank holiday!
Sounds like a cool idea! Have just received a case of wine as a wedding present and desperately need to know/understand/appreciate more about the wine before attempting to drink it :-) I’m free on the 2nd as well …
May 2nd is my birthday, so I think it’s pretty clear I should win it.
Ok, i can’t beat the previous poster whose birthday falls on that date. Here’s hoping you pick the names out of a metaphorical hat (or wine glass perhaps).
It is so easy to feel intimidated when choosing a wine in company as most of us Irish have little or no education in wine as we grow up, unlike other european countries. I believe alot of us associate a knowledge of wine with pretentiousness. My boyfriend is forever complaining about his lack of wine knowledge which is why
I’d love to recommend him for this course and maybe he can advise me after he’s done it!
Yes please!
please!!! put me in the hat…..
This sounds fab, would love to go while my partner heads off to the rugby. I’m feeling lucky!!!
I love wine, do I qualify?
Please put me in the hat. I really need to learn to appreciate wine more :)
Wine, that’s a drink isn’t it?
