So, there I was, studying for the WSET Level 3 Sake course I’m doing in a couple of weeks (after the 2nd day of teaching people WSET Level 2 Spirits), and I thought I’d have a dram: Loch Lomond Distillery Edition 7. I’d forgotten how good it is: huge tropical fruit and why I’m a Michael Henry fanboy

I'm really glad I *did* get that level of service training but since I'm interested more in writing and education, I don't think it's my main focus going forward. WSET 3 appears to be largely equivalent to the Certified exam, so I think I can take that without too much prep and then get into WSET 4

Here we go, officially! Slightly different designations on the WSET deductive tasting grid than what I have memorized from CMS. Wine + food pairing, and storage + service is a review. Monday is my first Zoom tasting. Looking forward to it! #sommintraining #wset #lifelonglearner #winesky

I've been going through my notes for teaching #WSET this weekend and here are some fun facts 🍷
🍇 Barbera is NOT native to Piemonte, not mentioned until 1800s
🍇 It's Italy’s 3rd most planted black variety after Sangiovese and Montepulciano
🍇 More than 60% of the total is in Piemonte 🇮🇹
