Howdy Slik Skool!
I hope this message finds you sipping something delicious :) I wanted to take a moment to share an update about where weāre headed and the exciting things on the horizon.
Over the past few weeks, Iāve taken some time to recharge creatively and plan an amazing slate of in-person events for 2025! Think Champagne 101, New World vs. Old World, A Guide to Mexican Wine, and even a Sopranos-themed wine-tasting classāfun, right? These events will take place at Chicago-based shops and restaurants, and I canāt wait to bring them to life.
On top of that, Iām deep into writing my book (with a big deadline in mid-February), which Iām so excited to share with you when itās ready. Itāll be a fantastic resource for all wine lovers, and I think youāll really enjoy it.
What does this mean for Slik Skool?
To make space for these new projects, I need to take a step back from being as active in the Slik Skool community and hosting virtual events. I know this might feel like a shift, but Iām making adjustments to ensure you still get great value while I navigate this exciting (but busy!) chapter.
Starting December 15th, the monthly price will be adjusted to $19, and hereās a break down of what that will include:
What stays the same?
- The Classroom will remain an excellent resource for all things wine education.
- The community page is open for questions, discussions, and sharing discoveries.
- Iāll jump in a monthly Q&A session where Iāll answer your burning wine questions if the group hasnāt already nailed it.
Whatās different?
- While Iāll pop in to start conversations from time to time, I wonāt be able to respond to DMs or lead virtual events moving forward.
- The calendar is updated with in-person events (if youāre in Chicago, come join!), as well as the next Q&A date.
I canāt thank you enough for being part of Slik Skool. Your support means the world to me, and this community has always been about making wine approachable, fun, and social. Even with these changes, Iām committed to keeping that spirit alive.
Thank you for sticking with me as I balance these new adventures. I hope youāll join me at an in-person event, continue learning through the Classroom, or connect with fellow members in the community.
Slik Squad forever,
Marie
