Congratulations to Karin Kallio, IWS, for passing the Italian Wine Scholar exam with highest honors with Cru Consultancy in Victoria BC!

"The Italian Wine Scholar opened up the vast world of Italian wine. [...]

The Italian Wine Scholar has undoubtedly improved my knowledge of old world Italian wines and has, thus, boosted my confidence to sell Italian wine.

Every wine has a story and with this newly acquired education I can better articulate to customers the technique and history behind some of the best wines in the world." READ MORE
