GBCabs & Clones Kellie Martin and SommSchool elevated the Estes Park Wine & Chocolate Festival with their exceptional expertise and engaging activities. Kellie, a talented sommelier, orchestrated an entertaining game of "Cabs and Clones" that captivated our participants. The atmosphere was lively, with live giveaways adding to the excitement. Guests truly enjoyed the experience of blindly tasting wines and attempting to discern between Cabs and Clones, all while enjoying the festive ambiance. Kellie's enthusiasm and knowledge shone through, making the event not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. Overall, Kellie Martin and SommSchool brought a unique and memorable dimension to our festival, leaving participants with lasting impressions and a newfound appreciation for wine. We couldn't have asked for a better addition to our event, and we look forward to future collaborations with Kellie and SommSchool. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of education, making memories, and entertainment in the world of wine!

GBOne of a kind wine education I have had the opportunity to take multiple public and private classes with Kellie over the last year and a half and I have thoroughly enjoyed each one. We have learned so much and had such a wonderful time that we joined the Decanted Membership (monthly education, happy hours and so much more). Kellie is not only an extremely knowledgeable and educated sommelier, but she is also one of the most kind and fun people I know. I highly recommend attending her classes and joining Decanted. Not only will you learn so much about wine, but you will have a blast. Kellie makes wine education accessible, easy to understand and fun. There is nothing out there like her classes and membership!

I enjoy wine, but Kellie has made it so that I also feel confident and knowledgeable! Looking forward to taking more of her classes! She makes everything elevated yet approachable and fun. Don’t hesitate! Sign up if you want to confidently raise your glass!

GBKellie is the best! 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!

GBKellie is incredible 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.
