Who's Up For A P2 Mock Exam?
I assembled a large bunch of half bottles and a good 40 wines under coravin to make a mock exam to do on a Blind Wine Wednesday. It’s not a fair test because it’s sort of a single blind for me. I know at least what’s in the realm of possibility. I placed all the wines in an area downstairs and what I decided to do was backwards engineer. I wrote the questions first based on some of the programs “greatest hits” like origin, grape identity, market position, quality level, etc. Then I had Melissa put together some wines that would fit the question hoping I wouldn’t just run through in my head what I had bought in the last year. Look, it’s not perfect but it’s better than not training at all. With a couple of The Wine Lads out of town, it came down to Hardy, Wes and I on a Wednesday, which was sort of ideal since I had so many halves. It’s a tough situation for those guys as they just want to do the IDs and walk away, and frankly I’m not that...
