    New Brunswick CAPS Sommelier Courses I am hoping to help teach the Old World and Beer & Spirits modules starting in 2010 in Saint John or Fredericton, New Brunswick. Eligible students should contact me if you are planning to attend. Details will follow, but the plan is to teach weekly, Monday nights, in 4 hour blocks. The total course length is 80 hours.
