So Much to Learn
As with any typical Italian family, Sundays were usually the day of the week dedicated to more elaborate meals – and the expectations were always high, particularly when a bottle of wine was brought to the table. I believe there is so much to learn about wine; it is an endless learning process. I decided to attend WSET courses in order to develop a deeper understanding about wine, improve my skills, be better able to interact with wine professionals, to learn even more, and get a WSET Diploma.
