Updates for 2025 🎉

Howdy Slik Skool!

I hope this message finds you sipping something delicious :) I wanted to take a moment to share an update about where we’re headed and the exciting things on the horizon.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve taken some time to recharge creatively and plan an amazing slate of in-person events for 2025! Think Champagne 101, New World vs. Old World, A Guide to Mexican Wine, and even a Sopranos-themed wine-tasting class—fun, right? These events will take place at Chicago-based shops and restaurants, and I can’t wait to bring them to life.

On top of that, I’m deep into writing my book (with a big deadline in mid-February), which I’m so excited to share with you when it’s ready. It’ll be a fantastic resource for all wine lovers, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.

What does this mean for Slik Skool?

To make space for these new projects, I need to take a step back from being as active in the Slik Skool community and hosting virtual events. I know this might feel like a shift, but I’m making adjustments to ensure you still get great value while I navigate this exciting (but busy!) chapter.

Starting December 15th, the monthly price will be adjusted to $19, and here’s a break down of what that will include:

What stays the same?

The Classroom will remain an excellent resource for all things wine education.
The community page is open for questions, discussions, and sharing discoveries.
I’ll jump in a monthly Q&A session where I’ll answer your burning wine questions if the group hasn’t already nailed it.

What’s different?

While I’ll pop in to start conversations from time to time, I won’t be able to respond to DMs or lead virtual events moving forward.
The calendar is updated with in-person events (if you’re in Chicago, come join!), as well as the next Q&A date.

I can’t thank you enough for being part of Slik Skool. Your support means the world to me, and this community has always been about making wine approachable, fun, and social. Even with these changes, I’m committed to keeping that spirit alive.

Thank you for sticking with me as I balance these new adventures. I hope you’ll join me at an in-person event, continue learning through the Classroom, or connect with fellow members in the community.

Slik Squad forever,

Marie
