with WINE WIZE & EVERYDAY SOMMELIER Podcast

Wine can feel overwhelming—so many styles, rules, and opinions that it’s easy to feel like you’ll never “know enough.” Maybe you’ve second-guessed your choices at restaurants, felt awkward at tastings, or tried wine classes that didn’t stick. You’re not alone.

At WINE WIZE, we do it differently:

✅ Fun, real-world wine education
✅ Simple tools you can actually use
✅ Practical knowledge, not memorization
✅ Learn to trust your taste—no snobbery, no pressure

Think smarter. Talk wine with ease. Taste with confidence.

No jargon. No judgment. Just wine knowledge that sticks.

Let’s make wine simple—and enjoyable.

Cheers!

Thank you Kristi for your warm and inviting energy as well as your passion for wine education!

When it comes to personalized wine education look no further! Kristi Mayfield has a serious passion when it comes to wine knowledge and education. I recently attended one of her classes: From vineyard to bottle; And I will say, I did walk away with a more nuanced perspective on the wine making process.

She breaks down the wine making process from grape to bottle, and covers every aspect that contributes to the final product. I learned about malolactic fermentation and different production methods for white vs red wines. We covered old world vs new world, as well as a quick geography lesson on some popular regions for winemaking.

I left her class with more confidence in my own wine knowledge and in my ability to communicate on the many styles and preferences available when it comes to wine.

I highly recommend Kristi to anyone aiming to become more knowledgeable on wine and the wine making process looking for a good place to start, especially if you are service industry.

As manager of the best Italian restaurant in Fort Worth, Wine is a major facet of what I do. Thank you Kristi for your warm and inviting energy as well as your passion for wine education!

Fascinating Insights!

We recently had the pleasure of having Kristi at our HUB Fort Worth ladies’ event for an educational wine tasting, and it was an absolute delight! She not only taught us how to confidently navigate a wine menu and choose the perfect bottle for any occasion but also introduced us to a fantastic array of new and different wines that expanded our palates.

Her knowledge and passion for wine shone through as she guided us through the tasting, sharing fascinating insights and stories about each wine. She is welcoming and approachable and made the entire experience relaxed and so much fun!

Thanks to Kristi, we now feel more confident about ordering wine for business dinners and exploring a wider range of options. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their wine knowledge and have a memorable tasting experience!
