I found this podcast when I was prepping for my level 3 which was in April. There weren’t that many episodes at that time but they made huge difference in my preparation and helped me pass the test with flying colors. A must for anyone taking any of the tests and for those who want to learn about wine in an easily digestible format. Thanks Joanne!
