Studying Northern Italian wine = maps, maps, and more maps!

in wine •  7 years ago 

Ok, if anyone is wondering what wine studies consist of, it's a lot of MAPS! Yes, you taste a lot too, but I can't express how much I look at maps. Regions, sub-regions, sub-zones of those sub-regions, soil breakdowns, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love it so much, but I will admit that there are times where you just want to rip up all your maps because your brain is exhausted! You have been warned...

I'm currently studying Northern Italy.

My wife and I just began our wine journey this year with a membership to a local winery, Orfila.

We're still noobs but didn't feel totally silly picking a wine for our anniversary date last night.

Looking forward to learning more, and welcome to steemit!

Wine at first thought it was the normal one lolz. Amazing stuff wine wine wine.

Interesting!

how many years did you study to get where you are now? thank you for the post @travelingsomm

About 5-6 years, but I took breaks in the middle.

I took a class at university about wine testing and I dropped that in 2 week. It was so different than what İ think

Wow i didn't know, thanks

Love your Q cards! How did your exam go? What was it on again?

good!.

Wow! There is Trieste, my town!
You definitely know Prosecco, then.
There is a big wine tradition here especially due to the ex italian “Istria” peninsula which is now all slovenian country.

I'm italian and I love wines. I hope you will soon going to study the southern wines, in particular way I hope you will enjoy the Taurasi and the Primidivo di MAnduria! amazing wines!!

Hey, congrats on your success so far on steemit. What are you studying for CMS, WSET, ISG?

Gosh. I couldn't agree more with what you said; studying wine consists of LOTS OF MAPS ! It feels like I've become a geologist/climatologist, haha.
It's nice to have a sommelier like you in Steemit and I'm so glad that I am now part of it! Good luck on your study, btw :)
