How are you all studying for Certified theory?

I keep mixing up Bordeaux classifications. Flashcards? Maps? What is working for you?

Maps for regions, flashcards for grapes. Daily reps win.

Blind tasting tip that changed everything

Stop guessing the grape first. Nail the structure (acid/tannin/alcohol/body) and the grape narrows itself down.

This. Structure-first is exactly how the exam rewards you.

Best value bottle you found this month?

Picked up the Guigal Cotes du Rhone for $18 — overdelivers massively.

Agreed — that bottle is a staple in my house.
