5 Reasons The Wine Education Class Is The Best Class Offered At FSU

5 Reasons The Wine Education Class Is The Best Class Offered At FSU

When I started researching classes for my degree in International Affairs, HFT4866 was on the top of my list. A class dedicated to wine, who wouldn't want to be in that? Of course, I had to wait until I turned 21 but rather surprisingly, I was able to register for the class immediately this semester. Since it is mainly for Hospitality majors, I thought I would have to wait until drop/add to try to secure it. After attending classes for the last month, I thoroughly enjoy it so far and we haven't even gotten to the tastings!

Homework = wine tastings.

While taking this class, you can actually say that you are completing wine tastings for homework. You have to complete at least ten before the end of the semester. These can be done anywhere with wine, as long as there are different varieties. So far, I have completed four tastings and I already see the difference in my knowledge from the first to the most recent one.

You increase your wine knowledge. 

Even though I am not a hospitality major, I find wine quite interesting and having the ability to learn about it is a wonderful opportunity. Before this class, I rarely drank wine and if I did, it was cheap $10 bottles. Even though cheap wine can be good, it doesn't compare to some of the more expensive wines I have had the privilege of tasting. I have learned a lot in the last month and I can't wait to learn more.

Drinking in class. 

Although the class is not dedicated to drinking, once wine tastings start, it's all about trying the wines. Each class period will involve the tasting of five different wines and any alcohol that is free is good alcohol. All in all, I'm excited to learn about and try a variety of wines.

Dr. Bonn knows what he's talking about. 

One of the worst parts of taking a class is having a terrible professor. Dr. Bonn is an amazing professor who goes in-depth with every lecture. Even though he can be somewhat strict, he does it for a reason. Missing a class means missing a lot of valuable information and why would you want to miss a class where you drink wine?

Hello, wine!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
