In this episode of Wine World TV, I’m going deep into Swiss wine. We’ll cover everything you possibly need to know for just about any kind of exam. I consider this an example of what an episode of Somm School Advanced would be like if I ever get that channel up and running. This is a two-parter, so be sure to check out next week’s conclusion!
