New To Slik Skool? Feeling overwhelmed? Start here!

We have lots of new Slik Skool members! How cool is that? I made a 5-minute video to show you around the platform and ensure you get the most bang for your buck. https://www.loom.com/share/d5aae8b3b13c4d5aa20ee37e523e977d In short, this is what I would do in my first 7 days on Slik Skool: 1. Create a new post and introduce yourself! Tell us your name, where you're from, what your goal is with wine, and your death row meal. 2. Take the first module in the Classroom tab. 3. After taking module 1, blind taste a glass of wine with the Slik Blind Tasting Guide and post your results! 4. Attend a weekly Q&A session with Marie. 5. If you're ambitious and have done all of these, get enough points for levels 2 and 3 so you can take all the modules! Bonus: Continue to interact and ask questions so you can rank on the Leaderboard and potentially win a baller bottle of wine at the end of the month.

Writing this to any and all that still check in here once in a while, but especially @Tammy Matlock @Tom Sandkamp @Samuel Fletcher . I would like to be able to share wine thoughts and experiences from time to time, but it is hard without our Skool’s founder and fearless leader, @Marie Cheslik . Miss you boss! I will continue to try and will be happy if any of you are still willing and able to join in. So let’s start with this pic! I was in NYC earlier this week and reached out to the one and only Aldo Sohm, famous sommelier and author. He was very kind to make 15 minutes for me to chat at his Aldo Sohm Wine bar, adjacent to Le Bernardin restaurant where he is wine director. He signed his brand new book “Wine Simple - Perfect Pairings”, which I had brought with me. If your wine education journey includes getting better at food & wine pairing, this is a must! He was also gracious enough to accept a copy of my humble little wine book! Let me know what you’re drinking and enjoying these days! Cheers to all who read this! 🍷

Whatcha Drinking?

Vacation wines.

We recently went to Lisbon and a 10 cruise to the Canary Islands, Morocco, and Spain. We had some amazing wines. These are the wines we had in Portugal.
