 I don't usually toot my own horn, but I am so proud of myself I just had to say something.
I passed the Wine and Spirit Education Trust Exam- Intermediate Level. Wipeee!! Go me!! Actually I took it with my mom...and we had a blast. I am so proud of myself...you would think that I got a masters degree or something. Anyway I just had to share!!
Here is the website...there are only a few places in the US that offer the courses Wine & Spirit Education Trust

| CBW- I wondered if you and Ben had done this...especially when I learned that the classes were based in Britian..
Yummy Boones Farm. I remember not being 21 and drinking that until I puked. | |

| I don't know really what classes you took, but it sounds very interesting. How do you go about doing something like that? Where to begin? I am but a novice.. | |

Pay to call Curlyben for advice ($1/min) | About time someone else did the WSET exams.
You wait till you get to the diploma with its Blind Tasting paper, now that's a challenge
Congrats and well done.

I have tried over 50,000 different wines, beers & spirits in my career, and I'm an avid fan of Scottish Malt Whisky (yep that's the real stuff spelt correctly). I have tried examples from 95% of known distilleries. | | |
