About Us

Wine & Spirit Education TrustThe Wine Center, llc serves as an Approved Program Provider (APP) for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET).

As a WSET APP, The Wine Center standards are vigorously checked to ensure students have the highest quality of teaching available to enable them to pass their WSET qualifications.

The Wine Center is owned and operated by Lorri Hambuchen, DWS. Lorri has extended her love and appreciation of wine into a fresh approach to wine writing and education.

Many people assume that wine is reserved for a select few. That you need a well-worn passport and the keys to a French chateau to appreciate its pleasures. Not so!
To truly enjoy wine, all you really need is a little direction and a modest budget. Good conversation is a plus, too. The passport and chateau? Strictly optional. – Lorri Hambuchen

After having achieved a Diploma in Wines and Spirits from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust in London, Lorri worked with WSET to bring this prestigious program to Arkansas.  She has been able to certify locations to provide Level 1 Award through Level 3 Award WSET courses and serve as the Exam Facilitator for the rigorous testing required for certification in these programs.

The Wine Center has WSET approved facilities in Little Rock, Arkansas; Fayetteville, Arkansas serving the Northwest Arkansas market including Springdale and Bentonville; Nashville, Tennessee; Memphis, Tennessee; St. Louis, Missouri; Kansas City, Missouri; Tulsa, Oklahoma and Jackson, Mississippi.
