I passed the sommelier wine expert exam, but what should I do now? I’ve already forgotten what I’ve learned
I think excellence is next, but what should I start with?
Why don’t you fix what you memorized for the exam as knowledge instead of temporary memorization?
*In this course, the contents of the course are set for sommelier wine experts, WSET level 2 or equivalent level qualification holders. Of course, those who do not have any qualifications can also participate, but please note that the content will be difficult for those who are new to wine study.

Comments from the instructor:
California, which used to be heavily influenced by winemaking and where it was difficult to see the difference in terroir, is in the midst of a big change.
The shift to more modest winemaking has ushered in an era in which differences between AVAs of the same variety are clearly visible. From wines selected by winery name to wines selected by terroir, please go further and deepen your understanding of California. ●Lecturer information: Yang Seju
