Caravaggio's story is really fascinating and it was a pleasure to listen to it. The pictures also taught me something about the history of arts. It was a bit like visiting Rome when Daniela showed me some buildings and alleys in Rome where Caravaggio had lived. Strongly recommended!

Such an fun and informative lesson. Covered a lot of ground from the history of wine to how to make the most out of tastings. The workbook Daniela emailed is great too! Lots of ideas for wines I want to taste and regions I want to visit.

Offline in Finland, Online in Italy! What a great experience I just had: Livestream wine-lover class with italian Sommelier from Rome! Such a great feeling to dress up and imagine yourself going to a winery visit in Italy while sitting in your living room. I even checked the weather in Rome and dressed as I would actually be there. I would recommend this online experience to everyone who loves wine!
