Inspired Somm

Our somm made my birthday celebration a fun, informative, and incredible memory! I have received so many compliments from friends and family about their enjoyment of the wine pairing experience! Thank you Lexie!

The Wine Fundamentals tasting class, which included old and new world wines, was very informative. Karen was knowledgeable, fun, and offered great cheese and food pairings aswell.

Karen is great! Lots of knowledge and HEAVY pours if you want them. Lots of great art throughout and amazing ambiance.

I had such an amazing evening at Inspired Somm, tasting and learning so much about wines while in great company, and meeting new great people. FANTASTIC wine class from start to finish, everyone truly enjoyed it. Karen is a wonderful host, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and FUN! She provides a very unique wine tasting experience that I highly recommend. If you would like to be amazed don't wait any longer and book your seat for the next class coming soon in November, I promise you won't regret it

I have been to a good amount of wine tastings over the years but none have been as intimate, fun or interactive as the one taught by Karen at Inspired Somm. The ambiance was really nice (dim lights, beautiful paintings around) and overall had a very welcoming and comfortable feeling while still feeling upscale. By design, there were only 7 people in attendance at the tasting to promote a more intimate experience; which really added to the overall experience. I learned a lot about not only the actual wine we were tasting, but also about food pairings and good general wine tips. I really loved how the tasting/class was very interactive and conversational (yet structured) versus being talked at (or not talked to at all), as I have at other tastings. Overall, the tasting was a very thought out and well planned experience that I really enjoyed and really recommend! I went with some friends (and made new ones!), but would definitely come again as an outing for a date or would make a perfect girls night out!The wines and charcuterie presented were really good and varied a lot. I even found 2 new wines that I love! I am looking forward to taking one of the advanced speciality courses to learn more and have another fun night!

Enjoyed a private wine blending class with a group of coworkers! Karen was very knowledgeable and patient with us inexperienced wine drinkers! I would definitely recommend this experience!

I was invited by my co-worker for a blind wine tasting class and the night was a complete delight! Not only was it fun and interesting to taste wines and try to guess from what region they were from, it was also a learning experience. Karen, the owner, for sure knows a lot about wines! She was focused in making sure the guests had the ultimate grape tasting experience. I recommend this place to all wine lovers (or painters!).

Third time back. One on old world bs new world, one on pairing and one on regions. All informative and great. The others guest, along with the instructor, made it a great night!

Fun event in a great space - it's inside Inspired Art Wine. I have been there before for wine and painting. I signed up for one of the fundamentals classes with my boyfriend and wasn't sure what to expect. Would be it be more serious, or fun? Is it for people that already know something about wine or geared toward total novices? I will say, I was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to be a good mix of everything. Karen, who led our class (although it turned out to be more of an intimate "event" than a class) gave us some wine basics, fun facts, and personal commentary about the wines we were drinking. There were light snacks and she suggested some unique pairings that were really good. The event size was small and we were all seated at a beautifully set table together (see pic).As someone that already knows a bit about wine, I learned some new tips, like how to find the sweet spot bottle of wine on the wine list at a restaurant, and got to compare different aspects of what we were tasting with the group. One of the most fun things was when this small group of strangers started chatting and having a great time together over good wine. (We learned we had a famous author in our midst!) This was not a super serious class for someone looking act like a shmancy sommelier, but rather something approachable with info you can use in real life, with plenty of time to socialize. Bottom line: If you are looking to do something different on date night or for an outing with friends, and enjoy learning about the wine you like drinking with good company, you should check it out! Pro tip: Take better notes on your wine than I did because they sell the bottles there too.

I took the wine tasting class that teaches you about different regions and varietals. Karen was so knowledgeable, fun, and informative! I will take many more classes here.
