In 273, I delved into exploring the wine industry. Now, let’s embark on a trek through the Level two sommelier course.

Well, I’ve leveled up and tackled the Level two sommelier course. Spoiler alert: I passed on January 26th, 2024. But hey, let’s rewind and take a look at what went down.

Level Two Exam

The exam is split into three juicy sections:

Tasting Portion: This is where the real action happens. Armed with the required wines, you dive into tasting under the watchful eye of Instructor Keith Wallace. No faking it here; you’ve gotta show off your tasting skills with authenticity. There were 6 different wines and questions after the tasting to describe what you just experienced. It was a little different than what I expected so it was not an easy task.

Aroma Identification: Get ready to put your nose to work! Armed with your trusty “Exam Material,” you sniff out specific aromas and link them to winemaking processes or grape varieties. One example was aa Packet that smelled like Lavender and My task was to match it with a certain type of wine they called out in the question.
