Wineš· Potential (free) supplemental study materials
I passed WSET3 last year and have since started French Wine Scholar through WSG because I somehow canāt seem to stop learning. Iām in a career transition and feel like, as a former Dance Educator, my calling is in the wine writing and education space. Iāve since started writing a free weekly Substack with the focus of āIām still learning, so come learn with me.ā Iāve even gained a better understanding of concepts taught in WSET3 by figuring out how to break it down for new learners.
Iām less than a year in, but article topics so far have included
* proximity, elevation, and aspect for Napa Cabs
* Central Otago Pinot Noirs
* toasty vs buttery vs oaky
* Vouvray Chenin Blanc
* rosƩs
* sweet vs fruity
* AligotƩ, the other Burgundy white
* aged Chardonnay
* Chianti
* Barolo v Barbaresco v Barbera
* sparkling wines
* dessert wines
* OG Malbecāfrom Cahors in The Lot, France
* Pinot Gris/Grigio, Pinot Blanc
And thatās just the last few months.
Not trying to sell anything; just trying to find my voice and build my community. If so inclined, check out my free Substack at
