The Peacock Pour
Wine, without the waffle.
Sommelier · Tasting host · Studying the WSET Diploma — and taking you along for the ride.
Meet Jessica
I'm Jess — twenty years in hospitality, a WSET Diploma in progress, and a very firm view that wine should feel like a good conversation, not a test.
I host taste-alongs from my kitchen, run live online tastings, curate corporate events, and MC dinners across the North. Iberia is my first love; Champagne and the Rhône keep stealing my Sundays.
How a taste-along works
Three steps, one very good Friday night.
01
The wines arrive at your door
A curated three-bottle kit, chilled if it needs to be.
02
Press play on the tasting
Stream it live or on-demand — I'll walk you through each pour.
03
Taste along with Jess
Swirl, sniff, sip. Ask anything in the chat. No wrong answers.
From the Diploma Diary
Notes from the study desk.
Learn with me
Three study-along paths — pick the one that fits.
Whether you're just starting or elbow-deep in the Diploma with me, there's a path with your name on it. Short reads, small tasks, real bottles.
First Legs
Fourteen short steps to feel confident with any wine list, any bottle, any table.
Six Grapes Deep
The six grapes that unlock most of the wine world. A little theory, a bottle to taste.
Study Along with Jess
A month-by-month walk through my WSET Diploma — same syllabus, translated.
