The Wine School of Philadelphia Is Taking Its Brand of No-Frills, Shoot-From-the-Hip, Singular Style of Wine Education

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan 15 (MARKET WIRE) --
Philly.com has teamed up with The Wine School of Philadelphia to bring you
Philly Uncorked! Due to its arresting approach to wine and stellar
reputation, the Wine School of Philadelphia seemed the natural choice when
philly.com decided they wanted to add webcasting to The Philadelphia Inquirer
and Daily News' website. Founder Keith Wallace jumped at the chance, choosing
his
trusted Instructor Maria Valetta as his co-host for the entertaining and
educational
wine spots.

Two lovers of wine with thorough backgrounds in the wine and food
industries,
Wallace and Valetta form a natural duo, with his affable wine "Prof" offset
perfectly by her casual savoir faire. In each segment wine is brought to
light as an approachable, not rarefied, thing to be enjoyed. A maxim close to
both
Wallace's and Valetta's hearts.

At the helm of production sits Ray Murray, Director of Banyan Productions,
one of
television industry's leading producers of reality and lifestyle programming.
Founded in 1992, Banyan has filmed and produced over 5000 hours of original
programming. Murray's experience and direction ensure classic TV with a twist.

These entertaining shorts are chockfull of useful information ranging from
Chianti to Champagne, up and coming wine regions to the more familiar
winesof France. There is also some food and wine pairing taught along the way,
a
helpful addition in this ever-growing foodie culture. And Wallace and
Valetta bring an impeccable energy to these shows, with segments that help
people learn about wine, thus enabling them to love it even more.

Best of all, each segment ends with Keith's Picks: Three wines ranging in
price from very affordable to that special occasion strata. All wines are
available throughout the tri-state area, another great reason to tune in.

ready to learn a thing or two about wine via these wonderful little spots that
will prove that wine is, indeed, for everyone. And join an ever-growing
