Seven down, One left

So, dear friend, I have reached the home straight.

The closed-book case study on wine tourism rated a merit, and I am keen to see whether it was a good enough merit to provide a distinction for the whole of unit 1. The assignment was very well received and I would like to see that reflected in the final mark.

The spirits retake was just good enough. On the first attempt my tasting let me down. This time I floundered on Guyanan Rum, but was granted a pass, on balance. I am grateful for that.

I am reading fairly widely, but I need more structure if enough of it is to stick and be retrievable in June.

I was very pleased to see some familiar names in the WSET Yearbook; well done all. There were other names missing and I hope that means we may be able to share a celebration at the Guildhall next January.

I have decided to rejoin the school where it all started, if they will have me, as a way of keeping me on my toes. I need all the help I can get, to keep focussed.

I have two dates at the IWSC; one for France, the other Italy, and this will be my third year as an associate judge. Will I ever be good enough to warrant an invitation? Probably not, but let's keep trying.

Bottoms up.
