Congrats Jeff!
Well done! We are following your blog so we can keep up to date on your progress. Here’s our blog on life in Napa Valley: http://www.topochinesvino.com
I am looking into doing this. Is it worth doing Level 1? Im not sure the level of difficulty in the level one course. I too want to do it for my blog http://thewineho.net because it does give you some credibility and especially if you are writing about wine and food pairing. I would love to hear your take.
Thanks for writing! I wouldn’t waste my time on Level 1, it is a very basic introduction to wine. You can start with level 2, which is a weekend class with some pre-work and is a great start. The WSET says you’re not supposed to say anything about WSET certification until you have passed level 3, but people do anyway. I’d highly recommend pursuing certification. Looks like you’re in Napa, I had an excellent experience at the Napa Valley Wine Academy and would highly recommend them. Good luck and thanks for visiting!
Yes that is where I was looking. I will definitely skip to level 2. I didn’t want to spend the extra 350 if it was going to be a no brainer. Thanks for the info! Cheers!
