Wine Tasting, April 19
Many companies recognize soft skills like etiquette and protocol knowledge as a form of business intelligence. They are looking for performers who can "outclass the competition" by handling any business situation, from a business meeting to a cocktail party.
You can discuss the merits of Java and .Net with anyone who asks. But do you know what goes better with grilled salmon, a merlot or a pinot noir?
Knowing which wine to order at a corporate dinner is one skill that can help distinguish you as a top performer and you from social embarrassment. If you're asked to smell the cork, can you do that without looking like a geek? As IT professionals we are not just computer people anymore. We are dealing with other executives and clients. The ability to speak knowledgably about wine demonstrates ones ability to conduct business in a social situation.
To the rescue comes is our April 19 wine tasting event. The course, teaches how to pronounce wine names (try saying vino nobile di montepulciano three times fast), wine and food pairings, and wine etiquette (such as how to send a bottle back if the wine has cork in it). Join us at the Philadelphia Wine School and be a part of this small group of top performers who see rising incomes, rapid promotions and the path to a seat of power.
You should order pinot noir with your grilled salmon. Now if you can figure out which glass is yours, you'll have your social graces mastered.
