About Kim:
Kim Kuznitz’s first foray into the world of wine began when she took the Court of Master Sommeliers Level 1 course simply for fun. What started as a curiosity quickly developed into a passion. She became fascinated by wine history, blind tasting, the wines of the world, and the ways in which winemaking, climate, and terroir shape what is in the glass.
After moving from New York City to North County San Diego, Kim joined Paon Wine Bar & Restaurant as a wine attendant and worked her way up to Wine Director. During her time at Paon, she continued to deepen her wine knowledge and developed Wine Tasting 101, a class designed to make wine approachable, informative, and fun for the novice wine drinker.
Kim went on to earn WSET Level 2, followed by the French Wine Scholar and Bordeaux Master certifications through the Wine Scholar Guild.
Today, Kim focuses on creating fun, engaging wine classes for beginners, teaching at house parties, wine bars, and other intimate settings. Her goal is simple: to take the intimidation out of wine and help people understand—and enjoy—what’s in their glass.
