- Need help on Wine Courses
Hi Everyone, I'm a Brazilian sommelier and I have a chance to make and international wine/sommelier course abroad, most specifically in the U.S.
So, I want your opinion, is there a real good sommelier/wine program ?
I was looking at it, and I found the Professional Culinary Institute Sommelier program at Califórnia really exciting, do you know it ? is this really good ?
What do you suggest ?
Thanks
Cordially
Eduardo

RBoulanger might just have the answers for you as he's done a couple of courses and posted some bits and pieces on the forums see if you can look it up via his forum details I think.

Thanks for the information and topics..
I already have the WSET Level 1 Diploma, next year I'll take level 2.
I cant find anyone who attended the Professional Culinary Institute at Califórnia to ask them if its worth the time and money spent.
Reading the website and looking at the content it seems to be a great experience.
I'll search for more info.
Thanks again.

I'm working my way through the WSET program, but am not in the industry. Most of the folks in my tasting groups who are in the industry and are not doing WSET are doing the International Sommelier Guild (ISG). They seem happy with it (in fact, for those who did some of the WSET and therefore have a point of reference, they seem happier with ISG). At least that's another option for you to explore. Good luck!
