Our Mission

Our Mission

The United States Sommelier Association is a non-profit trade organization dedicated to the promotion and teaching of the wine culture to wine lovers and industry professionals world-wide.

Our Wine School focuses on the practical aspects of enjoying wine, understanding how wines are produced, the study of the grapes, wine laws, growing conditions and vinification decisions winemakers are confronted with in different regions of the world.   A selection of at least eight wines will be tasted at each session, offering a broad introduction to all wines. Many wines are tasted blind to make learning both interactive and fun. We also look at matching wine with food, deciphering wine labels and explain serving tips and techniques.
