SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S FIRST INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED WINE CERTIFICATION!
Who is Certified WSET??
Who in the Wine World is Certified WSET?
1. The ultimate authority on wine, and
writer of "The Oxford Companion to Wine"
Jancis Robinson got her start with the WSET.
She says: "What I did rather immediately
after starting was to sign up for the Wine
and Spirits Educational Trust. It has a very
structured set of courses that eventually
lead to the Master of Wine. I started with
the certificate and I worked my way up
through those courses. I did it quite
quickly."-vinography.com
2. Peter Neptune, Master Sommelier "My WSET
studies were invaluable in helping my
education towards becoming a Master
Sommelier. I have been teaching WSET classes
to the public and the wine industry for over
7 years and have successfully graduated over
300 students at the Intermediate and Advanced
Levels."
3. And locally, your truly is certified :-)
As well as Tasha Kuxton, GM of Wine Steals
Point Loma. It is through the WSET that she
got her career launched in the wine industry!
Additionally, one of my enrolled students
called wineries and Napa and Sonoma and
everyone spoke highly of the program. It is
the most international out there and
respected available for aspiring wine
professionals or enthusiasts alike. For more
