About Miss Jane..."Austin's Favorite Wine Guru"
Jane A. Nickles is the owner of WineSpeak 101 and the wine instructor at the Texas Culinary Academy. She has been called "the hardest working sommelier in Texas" and is a “Certified Specialist in Wine” recognized by the Society of Wine Educators.
"Miss Jane", as her students call her, is the author of “WineSpeak 101” (published by Amazon.com), regular wine columnist for Eat and Drink Austin Magazine, and wine writer for the website "The Texas Wine and Food Gourmet". In July of 2006, Jane was invited to introduce her book and discuss her unique teaching methods at the 30th National Conference of The Society of Wine Educators in Eugene, Oregon. Her signature seminar, “WineSpeak 101,” has been named a “Best Bet” by the Austin-American Statesman and has been presented over 100 times!
In April of 2007, Miss Jane was humbled and honored to receive a grant from the Wine and Food Foundation of Texas to support further research and writing about her favorite subject...pairing wine and food. Thanks to the generous support of The Foundation, her new seminar, "When Wine Met Food" is now making the rounds of wine enthusiasts across the U.S.
In addition to her responsibilities at the Texas Culinary Academy, Miss Jane is the wine director for the annual Umlauf Garden Party, faculty advisor for TCA student wine club "The Grapeheads", and makes regular appearances at Wine Festivals all over the country. When she is at home is Austin, you can catch her show at Cork and Company, Clifford's Original Wine Bar, WineStyles, WineBat Blind Tastings, or at a party near you!
Thanks to The Austin Blogger for the Title "Austin's Favorite Wine Guru!"
