"Without the education I received from SSU and Business Wine Institute, I would not be a successful ( wine industry) business owner. The Wine Business Institute has cutting edge, state of the art classes that will enhance anyone's knowledge and placement for a number of career's within the wine industry. My experience with the professors made me hungry for more!"
