A master of the technical aspects of wine tasting, James Suckling has tasted more than 200,000 wines so far in his 40-year career. He also helped to standardize the 100-point scale in wine reviews, and Forbes has called him "one of the world's most powerful wine critics."

James and his team of tasting editors now rate about 10,000 wines every year, posting comprehensive tasting notes, reviews, reports, and videos from their travels around the globe to JamesSuckling.com.

Though he's built an encyclopedic knowledge of wines, histories, and ratings, James is most passionate about teaching students to trust their instincts, to learn to distinguish what they enjoy, and, most of all, to savor the moments wine can create. In his MasterClass, the former Wine Spectator senior editor starts in the cellars at Il Borro and tours legendary Tuscan vineyards, talking with winemakers and teaching his approach to the emotional aspects of appreciating wines from around the world. Cultivate your passion, learn James's philosophy on enjoying wines, and choose, order, and pair wines with a deeper understanding of the distinct properties in every bottle.

* What he looks for in a great glass of wine
