It was an amazing journey. The explanation of each concept was made very simple. This course gives you a good understanding of wine-tasting techniques. I would recommend it to everyone.

Awesome course. After this course I feel confident speaking to my guests about wine choices and can guide them towards a great food pairing. Thanks John, you are a great professor!

I think overall it was a very good course. It is what I expected and in general I want to congratulate Mr. John Buechsenstein for the effort to make an online wine course that really allows to learn so many important concepts. I particularly loved the wine faults and pairing because these are areas that are always handled superficially during tastings. I think the spitting of the wine does not come across well in the videos because no student participates in wine tastings continuously nor are they professionals so they don't need to spit it out. On the other hand the retronasal aroma, the bitterness of the wine and the length of the finish of the wine are best appreciated if it is swallowed. I am an MD and in the classic 2015 article by Dr. Gordon M. Shepherd entitled "Neuroenology: how the brain creates the taste of wine" backs up what I claim. I understand that probably for ethical or government control reasons you must do it that way. Thanks for the Course.

I think the peer review part of the final assignments should be reconsidered and solved. Some of the peers uploaded blank pages to see other peer's assignments and then they copied some parts and prepared their essays accordingly. This was bad and against the honour code. I have personally seen that a part of my essay was copied word by word by another peer, and wrote him it is unacceptable.
You can solve this by cancelling the resubmission option once it is downloaded.
In general meaning, I am very happy about the course content and the instructor. His method is very productive and supportive. The course gave me confidence. Thank you very much.

Hello,
1. A useful and pleasant introduction to the systematic approach to wine tasting and pairing wine with food.
2. Professor John Buechsenstein is delightful.
3. The chapter on defects deserves to be expanded.
4. The instructions for drafting and sending the final project could be clearer. For example:
- the need to include both wines in the same file or the possibility to upload several files.
- how to evaluate if the chosen wine is not on the list of the 3 proposed wines.
- The exact content of the report. Many things about what is scored are found out only after the report is sent and the evaluation of others is tried.
Thank you very much.

The course is nice and has a good time line for a beginner course. May be we cut implement some live sessions so that we can ask questions in real time, specialy when it comes to tasting & learning assignments. But on the end the course is well done prepaired and i will definitely recommend this Course. Thanks a lot.

John Buechsenstein is superb. Unfortunately the peer assignment rating procedure is a nightmare and should be rethink-ed and restructured. Not all the students are able to do their job well and can be frustrating for a serious learner.

I really enjoyed taking this course. Very engaging and learned a lot. I would have given this course 5 stars but the grading system for the final takes a while and I think is lazy. Otherwise, I would recommended it.
