EU/UK D4 Sparkling 'self sourcing' | Video Course
This is a recorded version of the course that you will undertake at your own pace. Once booked on we can arrange a 2 hour consolidation session at a time that suits you.
We do not send wines to you but we provide a list of wines for a helper to source for you that can be used on the course. Using a helper will mean that these can be blind samples for you.
Here is the list of wines: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OCHVbPsLkmmsiEFnHWTycBIHtpAxC3IL/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114638568955875671983&rtpof=true&sd=true
We send you an activity document a week before the start date. This document is a guided self-study self-marked homework tasks.
It is best to complete the activities before the first Zoom session but it can also can be completed during the duration of the course.
This course is a recorded version from 2024
There are three Zoom sessions that last 2 hours each. During these sessions wines 1-6 will be tasted (2 in each session) and reviewed which will help fine-tune your calibration, thorough in-class discussions and activities will consolidate your learning and further build your examination technique skills.
The final wines (7-9) will be a mock exam which Jim will mark and send back with feedback.
Wine 10-12 are an additional self-marked mock examination, this is an added bonus to help with the last minute study nerves and to help calibrate the night before the examination.
You will communicate with Jim on WhatsApp for questions to be asked and answered quickly. We have found this interaction increases the ability to work together.
You will also be given homework tasks that will be marked and combined to create a team tasting evaluation document, often over 10K words in total.
