SOMMELIER CLASSES WITH ELIZABETH SCHWEITZER'S
Elizabeth Schweitzer is currently the only Master Sommelier teaching in Los Angeles County and the only female Master Sommelier in Southern California. There are presently only fifteen women to have received this prestigious title in the world. We are honored to have her teach for us. She writes the monthly newsletter for The Original Wine of Month Club (http://www.womclub.com/) with over 15,000 members reading her wine reviews each month. Her company, Wine, Wisdom and Wit™ keeps her working full-time in the hospitality industry throughout the country.
Elizabeth's forte is education. She teaches classes, hosts dinners and consults at several restaurants along the Foothills and the Inland Empire of Southern California. She maintains an active profile in the wine community donating time for events and fund-raising. She is co-founder of the Chronicle Wine Cellar, and serves as a wine judge for numerous competitions. Elizabeth was voted Best Sommelier in California by the California Restaurant Writers Association. When asked how she knows so much about wine she simply states, “I open a lot of books and a lot of bottles."Her approach to wine is a mix of old-fashioned common sense and modern economics; “If you like the wine, then it is good wine. You should not have to pay a lot to enjoy a good glass of wine.”
