Sorry to stick a fork in it, but I recently attend Ian’s “Scotch School” in Downtown Los Angeles (provided through LeranAboutWine.c-o-m) and was so underwhelmed I figured I better warn would-be scotch enthusiasts from signing up. I’m confident his WINE classes/information is great, but stay away from the scotch class. Here is an expert from an email I sent to a friend just after the event:
.............................................................................................................................................
“If I were to sit down and pencil out a silly SNL skit it couldn’t be worse – like the guy next to me having so much cologne on I couldn’t taste anything but that. Like the instructor showing up in a kilt with a foot long feather in his cap and wingtips, playing new age Irish music while slowly mispronouncing almost every Gaelic-esq word (multiple ways) including “Islay” and “Laphroig” 30+ times, and providing the class with factual errors (almost like he knew it) while speaking over an unnecessary mic/amplifier system, and showing a ppt slide presentation in a fully lit room so no one could see anything (albeit apologetically) - providing pages of interesting words but no handouts – precious lost information. He bumbled along in the tasting reading scotch descriptions (squinting, word-for-word) from some website. He insisted that Laphroig was “the most peaty scotch”, which is ignorant overstatement. He also had numerous bumbling missteps in talking about the technical process in making scotch.
.............................................................................................................................................
Amateur night, all the way down the line – what is worse is that he knew it. I wish I had video recorded it and put it up on YouTube for you. I wish you were there so it could have been funny instead of so pathetic. (So ... It wasn’t entirely worthless; it can always serve as a bad example.)”

Really nice guy, but don’t quite your wine job Ian. I hate to be a Richard, but people need to be warned.
Pros: Great location, Ian is a nice guy
Cons: Incompetent and under prepared teacher
