Though he’s built an encyclopedic knowledge of wines, histories, and ratings, James is most passionate about teaching students to trust their instincts, to learn to distinguish what they enjoy, and, most of all, to savor the moments wine can create. In his MasterClass, the former Wine Spectator senior editor starts in the cellars at Il Borro and tours legendary Tuscan vineyards, talking with winemakers and teaching his approach to the emotional aspects of appreciating wines from around the world. Cultivate your passion, learn James’s philosophy on enjoying wines, and choose, order, and pair wines with a deeper understanding of the distinct properties in every bottle.
