My name is Jose Molina and I am a certified sommelier and wine educator. I started Explore the Grape out of a personal passion for wine. My goal is to provide a wine education experience to those wishing to learn a little more about wine. Whether you are novice or seasoned wine-taster, I would love to help you understand wine better to make more informed decisions either at the store or at the restaurant. Looking forward to learning and tasting with you! Cheers!
When drinking wine, we can all answer the question - "Do you like the wine?" Well how about "Why do you like that wine?" Most people will struggle with the second question. My goal is to provide an educational experience to learn more about wine, identify common wine and varietal characteristics, and ultimately enjoy wine more!
Education experiences are customized based on what the group would like to learn about. Whether you are looking to explore new regions or varieties you have never head of, I can create an event that you and your friends will enjoy. I cater to novice and experienced wine enthusiasts alike and ensure the content meets everyone wherever they are in their wine journey.
