Snatching defeat....

.....from the jaws of victory,  in case you are unfamiliar with the expression.

500 available,  275 required.

VDP is, as a French chum has just pointed out, differs from VdP. Sigh. -20 points.

Noble One,  despite being an Aussie Semillon (what do you call an Australian with a Semillon?), does not come from the Hunter Valley,  but Riverina, ffs. How? -50, probably.

Work in a Medoc vineyard?  Not strong. -50?

What makes Sauvignon Blanc popular with consumers and producers?  Hmm. -30 at best.

Amarone and friends could net 70, so call that -30 as well

That's -180. I need 95 points from 4 paragraphs (max 20 each) and the half of Q1, which was all Entre-Duex-Mers (max 50).

Say -20 on the Bordeaux. Can only afford to drop 25 on the paragraphs.

Three 16s and one 17 needed.

Big Sigh. Just hope they let me do it again.

Judgement Day

And this time not the wines but yours truly.

Resitting the unit 3 theory paper in 45 minutes.  Need a comfort break.

Wish me luck.
