5/10 wine education
The 2022 Institute of @mastersofwine stage one assessment (S1A) exam questions are available online. mastersofwine.org/news/2022-…
I asked #ChatGPT to answer questions 1 and 2 of the theoretical MW questions. How do you think artificial intelligence did?

2/2 But I guess what helped me pass was the active learning strategy. For every article I read, I would write a paragraph. Every morning I would wake up and outline/write an essay based on a previous paper. I would teach my dog about nematodes. All based on the learning pyramid.

Hands up if you’re a new @mastersofwine Stage 1 student this year!! 👀👀
A quick thread. – at Norwich, England

I had an insider's view of what went on at @PixWine. My monthly column for @jancisrobinson @Jancis_Robinson explains what Pix was *really* all about, what happened, and why it's not a good sign for the wine industry. Pix—The Inside Story vinography.com/2022/09/pix-t… via @vinography

How do we build/restore complex #ecosystems? Why does it matter for #viticulture? What's the complex relationship between carbon and water at soil level and how can that help us mitigate #climatechange and improve wine quality?
We talked to Mimi Casteel:

When you get a new wine text, are you the type to dive right in? Or do you dread over how in the world are you going to learn all this stuff?
For both, the best approach to get the most out of your text, and retain stuff for exams, is to use the 3 A's

Thank you Amber, these are some great wine book and I am so proud to see The South America Wine Guide within your selections 🙌
Happy #InternationalWomensDay to you too 💃🥂
For #InternationalWomensDay tomorrow, I wanted to highlight 5 great wine books authored by women (@alicefeiring @plepeltier @LizGabayMW @AnneInVino @amanda_tweeter @TaliaBaiocchi) that are extremely valuable for wine students studying for advanced exams.

The growing interest in #plantbased diets and solutions is impacting the way fine #wine is being produced and distributed.
What could a 100% plant-based system look like?
When #finedining goes 100% plant-based, what does it mean for the wine list?

Following a deep dive into social media analytics, I've come to the following conclusion: FB is about people; IG is about events; Twitter is about ideas. Or, put differently: FB = you; IG = me ; TW = the world. This explains so much. #loweredexpections #socialmedia

When we have a goal we want to achieve - do we need to give it our entire focus in order to succeed? Or can we focus on what's most important (even if it's not our goal) and still be successful? I hope it's the latter - because that's what I'm doing. outwines.blog/2022/02/04/foc…
