What they're saying...

"Krista not only built Salut, St Paul's original wine list, but she taught me almost everything I know about French Wine. Her Wine 101 class was an amazing learning opportunity." Bar Manager/Associate General Manager, Andy Shields, Parasole


"Krista delivers her vast wine knowledge in a manner that is both easy to understand and fun to learn. Before her classes, I was unsure of recommending wines. Now I am confident that I am giving my guests a great dining experience.  Server/Trainer Sarah M


"Krista's knowledge and ability to reference a wine's food compatibility was always the key to our successfully paired wine dinners. No matter what the food that was, that I put in front of her, she was always able to find a wine that would elevate the experience of the food I cooked."  Chef Jeff Anderson, Salut Grand Avenue


"Krista brought to my staff a fun and easy-to-learn approach to wine. Three years later, they are still talking about things she said and did."
-Michael Larson, Founder, Flying Swine Restaurant Group


"Krista makes learning about wine FUN! She captures the attention of her students not only by giving them practical, useful information about the complicated world of wine, but also by making learning an enjoyable experience. Her classes are like having your best girlfriend over for a glass of wine."  Sommelier, Wine Sales, Katie S


​"The approach Krista takes is not only highly educational, but also gives even the most novice students a way to easily understand wines, relate them to familiar flavors and pair them with our menu items-and have such a great time about learning wine! We love having her!" Michelle Fagerlind- General Manager, Book Club, Edina
