Meet Your Instructor
Paul Declerck grew up among the vineyards of France’s Loire Valley but didn’t truly understand wine until much later. That experience, moving from casual enjoyment to confident appreciation, inspired him to help others do the same.
Today, Paul leads The Wine School’s courses with a relaxed, no-snobbery style that’s helped hundreds of beginners and enthusiasts feel at home in the world of wine. His simple 5 Points Method forms the backbone of every lesson, so you’ll know exactly how to taste, talk about, and enjoy wine with confidence.
