About the Triangle Wine School

The Triangle Wine School was founded by Master of Wine Sheri Sauter Morano in order to provide Triangle residents access to premier wine education courses.  Ms. Sauter Morano began her own wine career with the WSET classes at the International Wine Center in New York City over a decade ago.  She holds several WSET certifications, is a Certified Wine Educator, and a Master of Wine.  The Master of Wine (MW), a title widely considered the highest credential that can be obtained in the wine trade, is only held by 298 people in the world.  Ms. Sauter Morano was the youngest American woman to earn the MW qualification in 2003.

WSET qualifications are part of the UK qualifications framework, and the education courses leading to WSET qualifications are an invaluable source of information for students to enhance their knowledge of wines and spirits. WSET qualifications are not a guarantee of employment or career progression, nor do they form part of any regulated qualifications framework outside the UK.
