I also go through a working written question so you can feel confident and prepared going into your WSET L3 examination

Jimmy uploads, I watch! My goal is to watch all of your current videos here on KZbin before my exam 🤪

[@WineWithJimmy]

:-) Plenty more videos on my portal too :-)

[@girlvsgrape7429]

@@WineWithJimmy that did get me very curious! Where can I find it?

[@winewithtuanni]

Loving the content!

[@mbos4115]

[@WineWithJimmy]

You are welcome!

Hi Jimmy! I got a subscription to the portal. Great work! Will you upload a guide to Chile soon?

[@WineWithJimmy]

Working on it!

[@aazizbenramak7337]

Hi...... Thx a lot

[@WineWithJimmy]

No problem 😊

[@franziskafischer5128]

Hi jimmy, thanks for your video! It helps me a lot. One question: on your slide "south australian climates" you just state one time "moderate maritime" - in the other cases it's just "warm, moderate, cool" etc. I Learned in my wset 3 course and in your video, that we should always describe Temperature AND type. In the wset3 book isn't always a full description of macroclimate - can you help me for Australia? Thanks a lot :)

[@WineWithJimmy]

If the book doesn't state both (and its annoying that it doesn't) then don't worry about it

[@tonypark9105]

Great video...thanks Jimmy. Although I wouldn't call the Coonawarra a Maritime climate. The summers are very, very hot and can be humid. Having lived there I would have loved a cooler summer maritime climate.

[@WineWithJimmy]

Hi Tony, thanks for your message, and I can absolutely understand your querying this from your experiences! For this video I have followed the WSET textbook, which states that it's a "moderate maritime climate". They link the proximity to the southern coast to explain why there is cloud cover at times which moderates the temperature and slows ripening.

[@nickh9791]

I imagine Bordeaux is rather hot and humid in the summer. Maybe not Australia hot but yes!

[@sujangiri5388]

Hi sir I am currently living in Nepal and I am curious to know about one thing about how can I come to Australia to do wset. Can you please provide all the information regarding this how can I come there at which university I can apply

[@etchurodriguezashu3730]

Hi Mr jimmy I am a registered member of your e-learning portal. I can't find the session of Greece any update about that thanks. Rodrick

[@WineWithJimmy]

Hi - it currently doesn't have a video or short-written question as it likely only accounts for one multiple choice question in the exam. It is very minor for the L3 syllabus (which is sad!)

[@numanuma20]

Jimmy I have questions on the portal: What version of book are you using for the flash cards quizzes and short answer questions Do I need to be a student at one of your schools to use it?

[@WineWithJimmy]

Hi Chris - no you don't need to be a student of mine, and it's the most recent book update in the UK (2016)

[@numanuma20]

@@WineWithJimmy Perfect. I’m using the 2016. My pay pal doesn’t work on the website.

Good

Thanks

That image is not a stereotype. It is typical. Working in vineyards we see it all the time - usually a buck a doe and a joey.

Thanks

Using kangaroos to pick the grapes is slavery!!! Free te ROO's
