    Newly Certified
    :D 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

    Way to go on your achievement!! I think being a wine expert is very classy, how posh. Lol I think its so cool you did that with your mom. I am wishing I lived in Cape Cod and was sipping wine right now. AHHHH what a life!!

    CBW- I wondered if you and Ben had done this... especially when I learned that the classes were based in Britain..


    Yummy Boones Farm. I remember not being 21 and drinking that until I puked. :)

    Yeah the wine merchant we worked for paid for them. If you get chance to go further with it do it but the third course take a long long time but worth it :D

    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..

    While I was in the Wine Trade I taught Adult ED, Wine Appreciation, both basic and advanced for 3 terms. Great fun.
    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.

    Very cool Ben! I am not sure if I am up to the advanced class yet. I told my husband that I need to travel back to Italy and then to France before I take it. That way I can relate to where the wines are from... hey anything to get back to Italy
