WSET Level One

I have some news to tell, a few weeks ago I found out that I officially passed the WSET Level One in Wines and Spirits, I'm now the proud owner of a certificate and a shiny new pin badge to prove it.

I thought I'd give you a run down of how Level One plays out, just in case I have any readers that are thinking of giving it a go - spoiler alert: it's SO MUCH fun! I'd recommend it to anyone who's even vaguely thinking of breaking into the industry, or even those like me who are just interested in learning more about wines in general.

I did my Level One at the Art School, Liverpool, who operate this qualification as a day course. The day started with our lovely teacher handing out the official WSET workbooks and giving us an outline of the day. During the morning we would tackle the meat of the information (while we still had a clear head), followed by a break for lunch then the tastings/food pairing element would happen in the afternoon with the exam rounding off the day. 

It felt like being back at school and I have to admit that I totally got a bit of guilty pleasure from it. We worked through part one of the book, making our notes and getting to grips with what we'd be tested on that afternoon. We learned about styles of wine, production methods and about the major grape varieties. I was definitely getting serious High School Chemistry vibes! We also started to really think about aromas and how to taste wine correctly. 

Post lunch, the tastings began. We tried a variety of reds/whites and dessert wines both on their own and with a selection of snacks that covered the five primary taste receptors - sweet, sour, umami, salty and bitter. The aim was to get us thinking about how the flavours of the wines are altered by what foods they're paired with, and to start us thinking about our palettes properly. 

Then, the scary part - the exam. Full GSCE style, separated seats, no phones, regulation pencils the lot. We had 45 minutes to complete a thirty question multiple choice paper that covered what we learned that day. At the time I thought it went pretty well but I was so nervous as the time passed after the course was over. Finally, three weeks later, I found out that I'd passed with 75%. 

I really can't recommend this course enough, I'll be back for Level Two for sure, hopefully before the end of this year if I can. Completing my Level One has really inspired me to keep going with this. I hope I've helped persuade a few of you to give it a go - I promise you won't regret it.

Major red tasting day in WSET3 Advanced! What an array of wine. The more you taste the more you can accurately discern in a tasting. This was such a delicious representation of 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOC from @zenato_winery #wsetglobal red cherry, mocha, anise on the nose. High acid, High alcohol, high tannin. Concentrated, very long decadent finish, clove, nutmeg. Loved this! (at Napa Valley Wine Academy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtEX4ScAJdd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tx94fg13vast
