WSET diploma

Post by Tom Chadwick »

Thought I'd let you all know that I have passed my WSET fortification paper. I have been through these links reading various topics and have learnt a lot since I have come here so Thank you all.

below are the wines that I had to get in my blind tasting. They look easy now but when you are faced with just a glass in front of you it is quite daunting.

The WSET practical test is extremely hard and you should be very proud of yourself for doing so well. Congratulations to you!!!

I'm very touched by your kind words.

Just so none of you think I'm better than I actually am, I didn't get the producers, in that respect you have to indicate whether it is mass produced, boutique, high or low quality.

I've completed the wine section + champagne and sparkling so just the spirits to go!

Next stop MW.................?
