The Wine Rocket Experience

 Hi Everybody, this is a bit of a self-conscious (and self-pitying) moment. As you know I am enrolled in the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines; when I started I knew it was going to be tough, but boy was I underestimating this! As you've read in my second post I have already been to Austria for the first part of the Diploma and I have already sat my D1 Exam (for which I still have not recieved my results...). Right now I am preparing for the D3 Exam -Still Wines of the World that I will sit the 26th and 27th of October, I know it sounds like a long way to go but trust me, the sheer quantity of knowledge you have to memorize is disheartening. Let me walk you through the exam, the first daythere is going to be a  written theory exam divided into two parts: one 2 hours paper and then another 80 minutes paper. The written exam is open questions, no multiple choice, and you get to choose the questions from a list - so there is a bit of wiggle room but  you really need to know your wine fact
