As always, my favorite wine people are my

France and Spain's wine regions with the new WSG
Essentials classes.
The classes, which take place at Paso's Broken Earth Winery, are

Diploma in Wine and Spirits, as well as WSG's Spanish Wine Scholar
and French Wine Scholar certifications and is adjunct Professor of

is part of the founding team of Paso's Garagiste Wine Festival, has
taught WSET classes in Paso since 2018, helping over 400 wine
lovers expand their wine knowledge and wine industry professionals
achieve their certifications.
"I am so proud of the hundreds of industry professionals and
enthusiasts, across the Paso
Robles/SLO County area who have achieved their WSET
certifications in my classes," said Webber. "Nothing makes me
happier than running into my students who are living their
certifications in tasting rooms, wineries, restaurants and other
wine businesses across the region."
Webber, who has traveled the world visiting wine regions to
gather knowledge to share with her students, also writes about wine
at her BottlePoet blog. Her article, Finding Wet Stone, dedicated
to her wine students and published at jancisrobinson.com, was
shortlisted in the 2023 Jancis Robinson Wine Writing

"As always, my favorite wine people are my wine students and I
can't wait to further ignite their interest in France and Spain's wine regions with the new WSG
Essentials classes. Not only do these courses fast-track students'

What some of Webber's Paso
Robles students have to say:
"Melanie's classes are essential learning for anyone who is
serious about expanding their wine education as well as for those
who love wine, but also want to keep it real. Melanie's passion for
wine shines through her teaching. I was in her WSET Level 2 and
Level 3 Awards in Wine classes and we tasted over 120 wines from
around the world, many of which simply are not available in Paso.
This has been a truly extraordinary wine journey which, coupled
with Melanie's tasting analysis, has broadened my palate."
Neeta Mittal, founder and owner of
LXV Wine in Paso Robles.
"My burning passion and desire to learn more about world wine
led to classes, offered by WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust)
and an inspiring teacher/instructor named Melanie Webber. Thanks to Melanie's natural and
expert talents as a teacher, many of us succeeded in passing the
WSET beginner (Level 1), intermediate (Level 2) and more rigorous
advanced (Level 3) awards in Wines." Claire
Westaway, Asst. Winemaker, RN Estate Vineyard &
Winery.
