Where did the fall go?

I can’t believe it’s almost the end of October! I also can’t believe I haven’t posted in almost a month.

Update on the goals for this fall:
– pass all three of my exams in November in one try, (In progress)
– turn in one paper, (In progress)
– pass and stay awake for the first level Master Sommelier class in a few weeks, (DONE!)
– have time to enjoy trip to San Fran, (DONE!)
– start running again, (not yet started, need to start)
– most important, keep sanity between now and exams in November (no comment)

I found the Master Sommelier class interesting from the tasting portion, but my classmates were having a very hard time from the level of knowledge portion. They don’t spend much time prepping you and the level of knowledge they expect people to know I think is not consistant with the level of the class. For example, don’t ask them a question about major wine regions in Germany than a question on an important single vineyard. Not the same level.

17 more days before my exams, tick tock tick tock.

I feel in pretty good shape, need to do more spirit and fortified wine tasting notes and review, review, review.

    It would be great if I could tap into your bar as a resource. AIM me when you have a chance and let’s chat about dates.

    Will do! I’m in meetings all day tomorrow and Thursday, but should have some time during the day on Wednesday to discuss.

    I’ve got a little free time this weekend; Sunday evening may be best. Monday evening may work as well. Wednesday evenings are good for me, but obviously not for you… so yeah, we’ll talk.

    I will refrain from comment on the “keeping sanity” item on your list…
