Virtual Spirits Classes, Guided Tastings, and Cocktail Classes





I offer virtual guided spirits tastings and classes on all categories of spirits. Each class is unique and will be customized to your level of experience, desired subjects and, of course, budget. If you live in the Bay Area, I can coordinate with Cask bottle shop on your behalf to have your selections prepared for in-store pickup at your convenience or shipping if you live in California. 

At this time I'm using Paypal or Venmo for payment for private classes, or for corporate clients, I can invoice you and you may send a check. Email me at mongoosebar at gmail dot com or use the sign up form at the bottom of this page to get started!
