I was searching on Amazon for a particular enology textbook and....I don't quite know what to make of these branded notebooks they're recommending. It's like those weird t-shirt ads on FB combining random things scrapped from your profile. "Just a girl from Missouri with a cat"

2/2 But I guess what helped me pass was the active learning strategy. For every article I read, I would write a paragraph. Every morning I would wake up and outline/write an essay based on a previous paper. I would teach my dog about nematodes. All based on the learning pyramid.

Hey #WineTwitter, if you have roughly a 24-hr layover in Auckland (early Jan), what would you do?

Have to chuckle when you're listening to a podcast while researching a TAMS topic and the #MWStudent hosting the podcast asks your exact TAMS Q during their expert interview. Great Paper 3 stuff from The Big Vin Theory - AS FEATURED IN DECANTER! and De Wet Cellar podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sur…

5/10 wine education The 2022 Institute of Masters of Wine stage one assessment (S1A) exam questions are available online. mastersofwine.org/news/2022-mw-e… I asked #ChatGPT to answer questions 1 and 2 of the theoretical MW questions. How do you think artificial intelligence did? 🧵

A lesson learned from the Rust S1 MW seminar is that I need to be practicing with better glassware than the small ISO glasses I used for Diploma. So I got Jancis Robinson’s universal glass. They look beautiful but hopefully all 12 make it to exam day!

Just got an email from The Wine Society highlighting aged "anniversary wines" they have from 2013, 2003 & 1998 vintages & I have to say that is some really savvy marketing! Don't have a 10, 20, 25th anniversary to celebrate this year but I'm still clicking to see what's offered!

I always find it baffling when promotions for wine dinners don't give any indication of the menu. The menu is the big selling point over attending just a tasting or masterclass with the winemaker, and presumably, a big factor in the increased cost. So why neglect posting it?

Trying to come up with a good visual image for why vines need enough "sinks" to funnel energy for balance. I gave Dalle AI the prompt "Digital art of a toddler on a sugar rush going crazy next to a leafy grapevine with a large canopy" Think I need a different metaphor...

What a fun initiative from WSET School London! In April, they're sponsoring edit-a-thons to increase Wikipedia's coverage of women in the drinks industry. wsetglobal.com/wset-school-lo…

As someone with limited mobility, a big appeal to online orders is having heavy boxes of wine delivered for me. But when Yodel delivers my Waitrose & Partners order to the wrong address making me need to somehow retrieve & transport multiple cases, that really dampers things a bit.

I know these were A LOT of work to put together but, man, I do miss these awesome Real Business of Wine zooms that wine thinker (robertjoseph on Bluesky) and Polly Hammond used to do. Was reminded of these while studying En Primeur and this terrific one with jane anson youtube.com/watch?v=VoMFy-…

I bought a pair of inexpensive tulip flutes for travel and I'm marveling at the "Customers who bought that also purchased items like these" recommendations from Amazon.
