| Stefani Jackenthal - Director of NTS Wine Tasting, LLC.
| | Everyone needs his or her little black book of personal wine tips. NTS wine educators are informed, articulate, and offer wine-loving folks the tools to discover wines they like and figure out why. We explore baskets of varietals and wine crafting from grape-growing regions scattering the earth. Our light-handed approach includes swirling, sniffing, sipping, and having fun. Food and wine pairing is our specialty. Stefani Jackenthal co-founded, NYC-based NTS Wine Tasting, LLC. nearly 10-years ago. Since then, she has led countless corporate, private, and monthly educational wine tastings. As a wine instructor at Makor, the Westside arm of the 92nd Street Y, for the past four years, she has educated and entertained clusters of new and seasoned sippers at her monthly “Wine Tasting Without the Attitude” series. Stefani and her NTS colleagues have presented wine etiquette programs for clients such as Credit Suisse, teaching 150-new hires how order wine for a table of clients, taste wine, and properly hold a wine glass, among other subtleties. We have led wine tasting classes for industry leaders, corporate teams, alumni’s, bachelorettes, graduates, and beyond. Our instructors can be buttoned-up when necessary. We look forward to sharing our knowledge. Please be in touch with questions -NTSWineTasting@stefjack.com. Cheers! Stefani Jackenthal, NTS director & founder.

| Tracy Ellen Kamens, Ed.D., DWS, CWE
| | Grand Cru Classes provides fun and informative wine classes and tasting events for personal and corporate clients. With expertise in all facets of wine from wine appreciation and wine regions to food and wine pairing principles and cheese production, we can open up these worlds to you.
Join us in our beautiful tasting classroom in the heart of Long Island’s wine region or let us come to your home, place of business or other chosen venue.
Believing that wine is always fun, we want to make learning about wine an entertaining and enjoyable experience as you "learn about wine, one glass at a time."
As CEO (Chief Education Officer), Tracy adores wine and loves to teach. So much so that when the idea to combine her love of teaching with her passion for wine presented itself, she jumped at the opportunity.
Over the past several years, Tracy Ellen has pursued wine studies in earnest to provide herself with a solid foundation in wine knowledge. She then uses her vast experience in education and professional development to craft classes and events that educate as well as entertain.
She is a self-professed wine geek, but is not a wine snob. In fact, she is an equal opportunity drinker, ferreting out wonderful wines at all price points. However, she does draw the line at anything out of a jug.
While she promises to make wine more approachable for consumers, she is proud of her wine credentials, which include the Certified Wine Educator credential from the Society of Wine Educators, Wine & Spirits Education Trust’s Diploma of Wine & Spirits (with Merit) and its Intermediate and Advanced Certificates (both with distinction), the International Bordeaux Instructor title from L’Ecole du Vin de Bordeaux. In addition, she has completed the Napa Valley Vintners’ Wine Educators Academy as well as the Wine Australia USA AusWISE program.
A published wine journalist, Tracy holds degrees from Cornell University and UPenn.
