Mmmmm ... unit 3. I think I messed up the first series of 6 wines (didn't indentify the region of the first flight as Loire, which should have been obvious given it was off-dry Vouvray, grassy Sauvignon Blanc and CO2-ey Muscadet; flight 2 was about identifying the grape variety and I picked grenache, which was actually pinot noir; made mental note to try and get my hands on some Central Otago pinot noir ...)

Other 2 flights of 3 went much better. So did theory, surprisingly, since I'd only studied for some two weeks. I am not counting on anything, though. The examiners are particularly nasty in wanting many, many details about Maipu, Cotes de Provence rosé, the (continued?) commercial success of pinot grigio etc. So nothing left but to wait 10 weeks for the results.

March: next exam on Fortified Wines, April: course work assignment on waste reduction, energy conservation in the wine and spirits industry. "Keeps me off the streets" as they say here.
