I have been asked a lot recently if WSET Diploma is worth the leap. My initial reaction is, “ask me after my graduation.” I’m really overwhelmed by it all. But honestly, I suspect even if I struggle to juggle life, work, and studies, I’ll still derive enjoyment from it.
And it has gotten me thinking a lot lately about what it is that draws me to wine as more than a hobby. When combined with travel and winery visits, it’s by far the people and cultures. I love to make those connections, and I love to collect and share the stories and the wines. It brings me so much fulfillment in so many different ways.
But as I’m reading my wine in business. It is fascinating all the components of wine, thinking of terroir. It’s where it all starts and there’s something about being out in the vines that soothes my soul.
And then there’s the tasting room or pouring events....
I think it’s going to be interesting where this journey leads. I really don’t yet, but I’m getting ideas. 🤷🏼♀️
