Recipient is entitled to attend their choice of San Francisco Wine School's California Wine Appellation Specialist (CWAS®) program OR our Somm Essentials program.

CWAS® was developed by Master Sommelier David Glancy, and is the first-of-its-kind program that offers a comprehensive series of classes featuring the unique wines and wine regions of California. The program focuses on identification and interpretation of wine laws, identification, critique, and importance of American Viticultural Areas (AVA), detailed investigation, review and assessment of California production, as well as the exploration and examination of varied climates, soils, grapes, and wineries of each region that make it distinctive to the California wine landscape.

Somm Essentials is a program developed by Master Sommelier David Glancy to provide broad knowledge across multiple beverage categories for students starting out in the food & beverage industry or those looking to polish their skills. The program goes beyond wine and includes education on the fundamental elements and styles of tea, coffee, bottled water, beer, wine, sake, and spirits, as well as each of their production techniques. Service, blind wine tasting, and food pairing will also be rigorously covered.
