| The Italian Sommelier Association of California is excited to present their inaugural Italian Wine Specialist class in the US at the Wine House. The Italian Sommelier Association (ISA) was founded in 1965 and is the foremost authority in wine education and Sommelier services in Italy. Globally, it is part of the W.S.A, 'World Sommelier Association', the largest Sommelier Association in the world, known for their extremely high curriculum standards. Recently opened in the United States with branches in Los Angeles and Washington DC, the ISA is the leading educational and consulting authority on Italian wines. Their mission is to train, educate and prepare professional "wine experts" in all aspects of wine, not just the narrowly defined "restaurant service" that is sometimes associated with Sommelier education. They believe that the high level of competition in the wine & spirits and hospitality industries requires a renewed level of commitment to education.
This course consists of 18 hours of class time and tasting with an exam in order to get the Italian Wine Specialist certification, issued by ISA California. The class will explore all the 20 wine regions of Italy, their wine laws, grape varietals and include a brief overview of cuisine and culture. A portion of the class will be dedicated to wine tasting technique and the sophisticated wine service for which the ISA is famous. This course will be extremely beneficial to both wine industry professionals and enthusiasts who are interested in the vast world of Italian wine.
