WSET Certified

I finally received the results of my WSET Advanced test. I passed with Merit! WSET is the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, and I have taken both the beginner and intermediate courses with them, both of which were fairly easy given my base knowledge of world wines. The advanced course was more challenging, as we covered all sizable wine regions in the world, along with climate, soil, grape varieties and styles for each.

So what does this mean? Being Advanced certified gives a future employer the assurance that I have a high standard of knowledge about wine. But really, it was just a lot of fun!
