If the people joining you for the class will be in the same location as you (from the same device), they do not have to register separately. Your registration is good for one Zoom link, and whoever is there to enjoy the class with you is covered in that.

If you’ve told other people about the class, and they want to join you (virtually), but in a separate location, they will need to register separately. We do check the names of of everyone joining our Zoom call and refer to the registrations.

In 2024 we will be offering broader suggestions of wines by giving some grape varieties or regions to look for, instead of suggesting specific wines as we have in the past. Many of these themes do not lend themselves to featuring specific wines, or we would be limiting ourselves by featuring only a couple specific wines. By shifting this aspect of Wide World of Wine, we are hoping to have more colorful conversations with participants having a variety of wines! Looking for somewhere to purchase your wines? We love Central Wine Merchants in Flemington, NJ, they are long-time supporters of The Educated Grape, have an incredibly knowledgeable staff, and ship nationwide.

Along with wines, we will not be featuring recipes in 2024, but we want to share our favorite resource! Nearly every recipe we feature is from foodandwine.com, and it is an incredibly user-friendly website. Utilize the search bar and type in things like "Sauvignon Blanc pairings" or "Summer salad recipes" or "beef recipes." You'll be met with lists of recipes that apply to your search and you can sift through until you find something that sounds perfect. TIP: Even if you are just perusing their recipes, most of them have suggested wine pairings at the bottom!

Yes! Everyone that is registered for the class will receive the recording the next morning via email. The recording will be directly linked in the email and will be available to you via that link until 90 days after the class.

The class Zoom link will be sent out to everyone registered for the class the morning of. Typically you can expect to get this email by 10am Eastern.

You will receive your Class Presentation Slides and Class Notes Outlines the morning of your class, in the same email as your Zoom link. These will both come in the form of downloadable PDFs.

After you purchase your Custom 3-Pack, you should receive an email immediately after, and that email will have a link to select your three classes! We ask that you select your three classes in advance and at one time. After you select your three classes, you will receive an email from us within 24 hours with a confirmation of your selections for you to save for your own records. If you would like to switch any of your class selections, simply email us at least 24 hours before the class you are switching from or the class you are requesting to attend instead.

The simplest way to do this is to purchase a gift card- we offer gift cards worth the amount of a single class, Custom 3-Pack, or Full Year Package. Or if you would prefer to make the transaction yourself, you may purchase it and let us know via email that it is intended for someone else. We will need you to provide their name and email for our records and so we can send them the Zoom link and resources at the time of the classes

You can receive updates about upcoming Wine World of Wine classes, sales and updates by signing up for our Wide World of Wine email list. Unless it’s a time of year where we are launching a new package or are holding a big promotion, you can expect to receive an email from us about once a week. (If you are on any of our other email lists, you can expect to receive a few more!)

All of our classes are taught by George Staikos, sommelier and wine industry veteran, and the Founder and President of The Educated Grape.
