SommSchool Reviews 65

Kellie is the best. I’ve taken her “Your Confident Foundation” course and am a Decanted member. Every SommSchool class has been super entertaining, super educational, and made me ENJOY my wine experience so much more! All of Kellie’s content is excellent down to the postcards she sends, and her emails. I 100% can recommend that you will enjoy any product you get from SommSchool! At the very least sign up for the mailing list, I’ve gotten so many great tips from those alone!

I’ve had the absolute best experience with Kellie at SommSchool! I’ve taken 3 classes and want to take many more! I’ve brought more friends with me each time and they’ve all raved just as much as me about Kellie. She is extremely knowledgeable about wine and she works hard to help you learn during her classes. She is friendly and makes everyone feel included! Can’t wait to learn more from Kellie!

I took a wine and chocolate tasting class with Kellie! She is a great wine teacher. She is very informative and fun! The wines were wonderful and I discovered a new chocolate (ruby chocolate). Amazing!

I highly recommend a wine class with Kellie!!

This evening was not only so pleasant but also fascinating and informative. We learned so much about Prosecco while enjoying its delightful qualities, and while it was a Zoom session, it felt like we were in a party together. The 90 minutes flew by! Kellie Martin is so knowledgeable and presents in a fun, relaxed way that anyone would understand and learn from.

Kellie has a way to engage any level of wine drinker in her online classes. I took the "How to Drink for a Fraction of the Cost" class and it gave me lots of confidence to be able to communicate what kind of wine I am looking for at my local wine shop! I've always enjoyed wine, but now I feel like I am enjoying wine at a higher level, and discovering more wine that I love. Kellie is a very knowledgeable sommelier, yet she makes wine education fun and easy for any level of wine lover. I've also taken her "How to Taste Like a Pro" Master Class. I'm looking forward to more of her classes in the future!

Kellie is so knowledgeable and caters every experience to her audience. She is just as approachable for a 101 style class as a deep dive into the history, grapes, and winemaking of a specific region. The best part is, you can follow along with any bottle you choose from home and make it a treat with friends. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge in the wine world.

Joined as a gift from daughter and my son in law. Best gift ever. Learning how to really appreciate wine with friends and at home. Learning how to relax with a a glass of wine is priceless. And the best part sharing different wines with the community. Really recommend joining the events!

My wife and I have had the opportunity to take many public classes and are now a part of Decanted. Kellie is an amazing sommelier, teacher, and awesome person. We have learned so many things about from wine, including how to taste, how to pair, different grapes and regions, and wine history. We feel so confident in what we drink, how we pair with food, and how to buy at a store.
Kellie creates amazing classes and atmospheres to learn everything you need to know! We love our classes and our wine community. Join us!

Kellie is great at what she does! She is able to take years of wine knowledge and expertise and relate it in a clear and understandable way. I have enjoyed learning more about wines from a variety of areas around the world through her classes. Some of my experiences have included taking a deep dive into Spanish wine and how to pair wine with different foods (Indian being one of them, yum!). Kellie creates very unique classes, which are always very enjoyable. Whatever the class, I have walked away knowing and appreciating the world of wine more.

Sommschool classes are the highlight of my month! Kellie is entertaining, patient, and has a world of knowledge under her belt. Most importantly, I have learned how to shop for wines that suite my taste, how to pair with any meal, and feel more confident talking about wine with other wine lovers. These classes cover so many different topics so there is something for every experience level.

I have had the pleasure of taking a number of classes from Kellie and I could not recommend more highly! The variety of classes keeps me coming back time and time again and I learn a tremendous amount in every class. Kellie is truly a pro but is so approachable and fun and she makes the virtual classroom a welcoming place to learn. During class participants are invited to taste and share about the wine in their glass and Kellie is so supportive in helping us practice this skill. I always look forward to the next time I get to jump into one of Kellie's classes - she is my go to for all things wine!

SommSchool is amazing! Kellie is full of so much knowledge and makes the class fun and interesting! Perfect for hanging with friends or for a date night. I can now say I love the taste of wine just as much as I love taking classes from SommSchool!

SommSchool is awesome! I've been taking classes here and there since 2020, but in 2022 decided to join the Decanted community and am really glad that I did. The monthly wine education has been really fun and I've begun loving more and more wines than I ever thought possible. Learning about the wine I'm drinking helps me appreciate and enjoy it with friends. The community aspect is really great too--I've gotten to connect with other wine aficionados all across the country. Kellie does a great job making learning about wine fun.

Kellie is kind, welcoming, and professional. Whether new to the wine scene or a seasoned pro, she makes learning fun and interactive. I can’t wait for my next class!!

My wife and I have had the opportunity to join Kellie for both public and private classes and we could not recommend Kellie and SommSchool more. Kellie has a way of making both a seasoned wine lover (my wife) and beginner (me) engaged and interested in the classes. Each time, we have learned so much about not only wine, but tasting, smelling, and creating thoughtful discussion about it. The level of detail and thought in each class is extraordinary.
I would highly recommend SommSchool to anyone. It has been a joy each time we have taken part. We are always looking forward to our next class!
