  • Do it. It's fun. It's worth it. I have definitely solidified my place as the wine guy in my friend group. I am the one they pass the wine menu out to at dinner. I am the one who can pick out and bring some bangin' wines to family dinner. It's great! I can make more educated decisions when looking at a wine menu and plan out which wine goes better with my meal.

  • The true value of On Wine Online comes from Marie's time, expertise, and ability to pick her brain. The modules are practical, fun, and approachable. I would genuinely recommend this course!

    Emily M.

  • On Wine Online was both entertaining and helpful. Marie has an easy-going vibe to her teaching that just made it feel like I was listening to a friend talks about wine; she made it fun to learn about wine. She breaks things down to a pretty granular level without getting overly nerdy and losing you along the way.

  • Engaging, informative and entertaining! My first introduction to wine was as a kid in church, so I don’t put it lightly when I say I was clueless! I started doing wine tastings at a local shop, but honestly, they could have been speaking Klingon for all the good it did in helping me understand what I was drinking. Enter Marie Cheslik. I first discovered her on TikTok and was so impressed at how approachable she made wine. So, when she announced she was doing a course I signed up instantly! From the first module, I was hooked. Her enthusiasm and knowledge were a breath of fresh air, and her style of presenting this material was so down to earth it felt like we were having a conversation. If you are someone starting at level 0 wine knowledge, take this course. If you are wine enthusiast wanting to deepen your knowledge, take this course. If you are a sommelier trying to understand how to get people excited about wine, take this course. Marie Cheslik has put her heart into this and it shows. You will not be disappointed!

  • I’m someone who really enjoys wine but would always feel a little intimidated and “less than” when attending wine tastings or even just shopping at my local wine shop. On Wine Online was just what I needed in order to gain confidence in understanding how to not only taste wine but also learn more about regions, varietals, pairings and more. This course is perfect for the professional or a hobbyist like myself. It’s a world of difference attending a tasting now, I actually understand everything that the host is talking about and I don’t struggle to describe the wines. Highly recommend!

  • From the relaxed pace of the modules to the interactive group and approachable curriculum, I would honestly recommend this to anyone who's interested in diving a bit deeper into wine. The course is a great mix of theory and practice, of work and play, there's no bullshit and Marie meets everyone at eye-level.

  • I am a one-person show and this is by design. Community is one of Slik’s values and I need to continue to be a strong part of that community. Smaller group sizes ensure that if you’re signing up for this, you get the attention you deserve from me!

  • WSET & CMS are focused on professional restaurant sommeliers and not everyday enthusiasts. You will have some refreshers but I will still go over practical skills like how to read a wine label or how to pick a wine at a restaurant. You'll also have weekly access to a wine expert and our community, which neither of these options has.

  • Short Answer: Not right now.

    Long Answer: We are building relationships with wine retail companies that ship wines to your door. In general, We find more value in teaching you the tools to empower yourself to approach any wine situation.

  • The course, community discussion, calendar of events, professional Q&As, and expert 1:1 will be hosted on Skool.

  • You won't be watching any Oscar-winning cinematography and it's not shot on some big budget. I'm not sitting in a fancy studio or my private wine cellar. It's me in my home office in Chicago, IL giving you the information you need in its simplest form.
