Chronicles Of Consumption

WSET (2)

Thank you very much for your congratulations Nahthern, I must confess to being hugely disappointed not to have beaten your score though. You're right, that damn blind tasting, I was absolutely convinced I had nailed that part, never mind... The diploma entails multiple tastings also, could be tough!

I am now officially as qualified as you now, Mr. 'Professional'.

I am also looking forward to tomorrow being a flower day, and me opening an unbelievably cheap closeout semi-aged Gruner Veltliner from Franz Hirtzberger to celebrate that fact. Splendid.

Congratulations to Fatboy for passing your Advanced WSET exams though I am overjoyed you did'nt get a higher mark than me, you would have been unbearable - though an identical mark is still somewhat irksome - how annoying is the blind tasting part though, you nail the wine and know the flavour profile but then it seems to be almost a game of roulette to identify the same key indicators as the marker - med high acidity and all that - could argue its too rigid but some poeple know how to play the game. Anyway onward and upward old boy time to get stuck into the Diploma
