LAW School

ABOUT LAW SCHOOL

 I created Learnaboutwine School in 2006, we saw a need for the City of Los Angeles to have a credential program.  WSET came in shortly afterward with a brilliant nationwide effort that inspired amazing growth in the industry.  In 2010, I was accepted to sit and study with the Masters of Wine - out of London.  I had not taken or completed the WSET program and that showed in my exam results in 2014.  So I had gone back and started to accumulate various credentials, to help me better prepare students for the CSW, WSET and Advanced Sommelier programs.  In 2026 - we will relaunch the LAW SCHOOL product as we see a more defined lane that this program can provide.  More in depth about the primary regions of the world - a step that can help you fill the gap between WSET 2 and 3 - for consumers - this may be all you need as we provide world wine comprehensive knowledge... and use our time in class tasting and discussing.  We also taste and discuss blind tasting which is required for many of the advanced exams.  LearnAboutWine school will still lean on the textbook, but we have added more granular information and believe we keep the program fun, and entertaining at the same time.  Join us for LAW SCHOOL - aka Learnaboutwine School.  If you pass our BAR exam (the Beverage Aptitude Review) you will receive your J.W.E credential / Junior Wine Enthusiast Certification.  Over 1200 students have graduated from Learnaboutwine over the past 20 years with a pass rate over 90%.
