My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. Now that I have completed my WSET 3, I now use this as a place to review and talk about different wines that I am currently drinking as well as wineries that I visit in my new role as a private Wine Tour Guide.

Chateau Puyanche has been in the family for five generations and makes wine in Bordeaux. After trying this white Bordeaux, why not check out some of the white Bordeaux blends in the Okanagan?

Time to Taste some Baby Brunello
This 2019 Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino is truly an amazing Sangiovese from the heart of Tuscany.
The area is one of the best regions in Italy - and has some of the most expensive wines - but Rossi di Montalcino is an affordable, Italian red, perfect with food!
