The Great Wines of Austria, with Peter Granoff, MS

Fun Fact! Peter Granoff gave Diana her first "real" wine job at Wine.com, back in 1998. Or was it 1999? Anyhoo, Master Sommeliers Peter Granoff (and Tim Gaiser, who's taught at Wine Goddess in the past) taught Diana everything she knows about wine, and now, Peter will teach YOU!

In 1991 Peter Granoff was the 15th American to become a Master Sommelier, and is one of a small subset to date that have earned the Krug Champagne Cup (awarded to those who pass all three parts of the Master Sommelier exam on the first try). He has since gone on to found Virtual Vineyards (the first successful wine e-tailer, now known as Wine.com) and both The Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant and Mission Bay Wine & Cheese in San Francisco.

Here's a bit of what to expect from this class: Quick — What country has been making wine since the Romans were wandering its river valleys; celebrates some of its finest vineyard sites by naming them after a bright green lizard; had a major wine scandal in 1985 - and then rebounded with such determination that it makes some of the best wines in the world today?? Austria! Peter's just back from visiting his fave Austrian estates again last year, and is keen to share the fruits of his labor with you!
