Congratulations to Bonnie

by Peter May » Mon Jun 11, 2007 9:31 am

I am sure you will want to join me in congratulating Bonnie (who posts as Bonnie in Holland) for gaining the WSET Diploma*.

The Diploma is the pre-req to Master of Wine, and it takes a minimum of 2 years intense study. Bonnie tells me "it was indeed hard going. A long three years."

Well done Bonnie!!

Congratulations Bonnie. You make the 2nd regular poster who has had the distinction of mastering the examination. What did you pour in celebration?

Bonnie,

Congratulations! You should be very proud. Any recommendations on reasonably priced red Burgs? Particularly from the '05 vintage.

Well done Bonnie! I'm bowing so deep that my forehead touches the ground!
Any plans top continue towards MW?
