Kellie is the best! Kellie is the best! Her classes are not only fun and the people are great, but I’ve learned so much that often, I impress my server or the staff at the wine store. The best part is, after a few years of her classes, I can walk into any liquor store or look at any menu and know I’m not only going to pick something I (and the people with me) like, it’s also not going to break the bank!

Would recommend! I was introduced to SommSchool from a friend. I am so glad that I finally signed up for a class! Kellie makes approaching wine tasting comfortable and fun. I’ve now done two classes. I love that she encourages you to form a relationship with your local wine store. I’d always imagined wine tastings to be a task of ordering specific wines online. I love that her classes are for everyone!

Such a fun way to experience wine! I have now taken 2 classes with Kellie ("How to Drink for a Fraction of the Cost" &"Deep Dive into Burgundy") and absolutely loved them both! In both classes I feel like I learned so much about wine and it's left me wanting to learn more! Tasting wine together with a group is also interesting because others taste things that I couldn't always quite pinpoint. I look forward to taking many more classes in the future! Highly recommend SommSchool!

Kellie is a phenomenal wine educator Kellie is a phenomenal wine educator. She thoroughly explains regions, wine making, and tips and tricks in a fun, relaxed, non-stuffy manner. I enjoy having open discussions with the other participants and applying our new found knowledge to the wines we taste during class. It’s a real treasure to connect with other wine lovers, many of whom are regulars. SommSchool always hosts interesting and diverse classes that fit a wide array of tastes and interests. I’m always eager to see what the future “curriculum” entails. I’ve learned so much about wine and feel a deeper appreciation, especially for wines I never thought I’d enjoy. Oh! And if you have the opportunity to travel with Kellie on a wine retreat abroad, DO IT! You won’t regret it! Cheers!

Cabs & 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!
