Tips for learning the HARDEST part of WSET L2 in Wines, Part 1: White Wine Appellations

Dear Wine People,
As someone who went through WSET courses himself and also from the point of view of an educator watching his students go through the course and exam, this part of WSET Level 2 in Wines-remembering the appellations-seems to be where everyone struggles.
In this video, I'll share some tips and techniques I used for mastering this part of the material. We'll be focusing first on white wine appellations, with the next video covering red wine.
And as always, back by popular demand: 30 challenging WSET exam-type questions to help you master this part of the course!!

Can’t wait… I’m doing my L2 class/test in Napa next weekend and I cannot tell you how valuable the white wine version was! Can’t wait. And again thank you!!

[@thirstyandwise]

Well now I must post the red wine video on Monday, so you see it before your exam. Good luck on the exam, you will be great.

@@thirstyandwise What a Life savor!! Can't wait! I have read the book twice and watched all the video and quizzes on the WSET pre study but The overwhelming and perplexing nature of the "EU/world of wines" outside of the US is quite hard to understand. Finding your videos have been a real blessing, not only because I now know how to say Viognier and Auslese semi correctly and not sound like some CA surf guy saying VI OG NAY or OSH LEECE haha....I'm 57 and a lover of wine but I'm ashamed to say NEVER delved into much past the Napa world....And look forward to learning more and more and seeing how far this road takes me...sorry for the long response but again Thank you!

[@thirstyandwise]

Please do not apologize, I am super happy that my video are helping. I am super excited for you, and your wine journey. Please let me know if you have any questions.

[@michaelwiseman7377]

[@hsonmari6665]

[@thirstyandwise]

[@thirstyandwise]

You are a Wine People, it does not matter if you are taking any courses. I am very happy that this is interesting for you.

[@michaelwiseman7377]

Just finished White Wine appellations and was sooooooo grateful for this video (and all these videos) Is there a red wine video for grapes and Appellations? I don't see it THANK YOU!

[@thirstyandwise]

Thank you wine person.

[@oneltristan-erraticvideos6917]

hello watched ur vids and it is very informative. how can i get a copy of your appell,grapes and labeling

[@thirstyandwise]

Thank you for your question. My recommendation is for you to create your own. Combination of watching videos, reading the material and creating own study material is the learning process that guaranties success.

[@melusincube3247]

Is it adviced yo take a level 2 if you dont know anything about wine ,meaning taking a online course study for your self and take a test

[@thirstyandwise]

Very good question. I did my WSET L2 in Wines online, I did not do L1. I had some wine knowledge. I passed because I was interested and prepared well. You can do tasting part on your own with some guidance. If you are interested in doing L2 online, send me an email to [e-mail] and let me know what is your plan. Stay Thirsty and Wise

Looking forward to black grapes

[@thirstyandwise]

Thank you for the comment. Red wine appellations video is coming out today. Let us know if you ha e any questions.

[@user-iq8rf8jl1m]

great stuff i have a question on chardonnay .appellations and regions is casabblanca a region or an appellation?

[@thirstyandwise]

Good question. Region and appealtion can be used interchangeably. Region is usually a larger geographic area, where when you say appellations usually means smaller are within a region. Hope this answers your question. Stay Thirsty and Wise
