I teach courses that dive into the rich culture of wine, using it as a way to explore broader topics like history, geography, and the arts. My classes blend practical wine knowledge—like how it's made and tasted—with a deeper look at how wine shapes and reflects different cultures around the world. I aim to help students see wine not just as a product, but as a lens through which we can understand traditions, communities, and stories, with a special focus on Italian and global wine cultures.
