That's awesome! I'm debating whether I should also do WSET. I've heard that Level 2 CMS is around WSET level 3. For CMS, I think ppl are surprised how much you have to know about beers, spirits, cocktails, sake, etc.
@@TheSommNextDoorThe WSET programs are great for people who want head knowledge on a specific area of the alcoholic beverage industry. Think of it ad a college major without the internship. The WSET offers awards in wine, spirits, and sake. You choose which path seems interesting and what level you want to do. It’s ideal for people who want to work in a wine shop or at home wine salesperson, host tastings, be a wine blogger, work for a winery, import wine. You could be a sommelier having WSET knowledge with some training apart from it.
@@numanuma20 Yes it seems like a valuable credential. A very good friend of mine was able to skip ahead and take the Level 3 WSET test. We were both studying at the time me for CMS and him for WSET. And I noticed that the tasting portion for WSET is quite different from CMS. WSET was more about the quality, drinkability, aging-ability and CMS is more about identifying the region, age and grape.
@@TheSommNextDoor WSET just wants to test you on the SAT format of wine. I wish there was a guess what grape, region, and age the wine is. It’s also great for people who want to be wine critics.
I want to mention that not all tannins are created equal. The tannin structure of Nebbiolo grown in Piedmont is very different than Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa. How was the CMS?
I agree. They are totally different. Nebbiolos have such amazing structure (the tannin and acid combo is killer). It is a fun challenge trying to convey those nuances to people without getting too in the weeds.
I liked the recap of the key basics in the end and encouraging to start learning by experimenting different pairings
Excellent job of making wine pairing simple and accessible. Thank you!
You’re my new favourite person 😅 love your subtle but expressive nature. The content though ? The content was very informative, appreciate it :)

@@TheSommNextDoor Too in the weeds?
@@numanuma20 I love it because that's what makes wine pairing fascinating but for most people it's like drinking water from a fire hose
how did you forget bulgarian and Greek wines when mentioning old world? wine originates from thracian historical region..
