More Ignorance

I forgot to mention. I have been given the chance to play at judging again, this time in September. It's the turn of New Zealand to come under the untutored scrutiny of yours truly. Very much looking forward to it but this time I may go by train!

I am fortified

So, a pass grade in each section of the fortified wines exam. Good enough. On now to the sparkling wine and the spirits exams in June.

Not sure how I feel, but I will put in the nearly too late revision. I think I have to aim for getting the diploma rather than worrying about the grades.

Have heard, recently, from two fellow students from the last course. I hope to catch up soon.

Spent a day at the LIWF and tasted the produce of more countries than was sensible. Brazil was an interesting find. Very new world. Bags, no sackfuls, of fruit and tannin. Argentina offered an unfortified wine that weighed in at 16%!

All good fun.
