"What I learned from Tim’s course, The Business of Wine, will be invaluable for achieving my goals providing services to the wine industry as I now have a much deeper understanding of the operations and business strategies of various players in the business." Susan Rogers, Partner, The Potomac Law Group

"After growing wine grapes for 18 years, my wife and I wanted to start a winery. I found Tim's "Understanding the Business of Wine" on-line course offered a comprehensive overview of the creation & running of a winery. Beyond the class, we continue to have access to the business resources & Tim too! Thanks for the great class." Bentley Mooney

"I passed both the tasting and theory parts of the stage 2 MW exam on the first attempt. I still can’t believe it! Without the amazing Wine Business class you taught, I don’t think I would have passed. Especially that you taught me the MW way of thinking. I applied that in my studies and in the exam. Apparently that worked!" Gus Zhu, Master of Wine
