  1. Nice touch adding the Google Earth videos and it really immerses one into the topography on the area and illustrates the features of the landscape much more effectively.

  2. Excellent session! Very informative, with all the details. You have great teaching skills, very natural!

  3. I'm not even studying for this exam/course, but I do love to understand the wine I am drinking. So many of my friends will say they won't drink chardonnay but will happily sit there quaffing chablis! Love your style, presentation skills and structure. thanks

  4. You are doing important work! I am taking Wset lv3 and i observe that while it is important to learn knowledge about wine, knowing how to answer the exam questions is also important (well, the end goal is to score marks, after all), and here you cover both! Thank you so much.

  5. great channel l'm learning and enjoying your channel.
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us👏🏼👏🏼

  6. My favourite wines! Just stumbled across your channel the other day. I'm planning on doing my WSET 3 soon I hope, and I absolutely love your videos.

  7. Thanks for the e learning. Are there short written questions I can print out? Is the e learning a subscription?

  8. very good!! you just have to improve a bit your French pronunciation , at least for the regions' names .. Champ'a'gne … it's an "a" like in "America" not like in "apple" 😉 "Lieu dit" is not "Liou dit" 😉 Anyway… BIG congrats for everything else!

  9. Hello Jimmy, I find your videos very interesting and very informative. Thank you so much for doing such contents. 😊

  10. I’m about to resit my Level 3 written exam and I’m so glad that I discovered your videos, the short answer tips are on point. I’m well aware this is what trips most people up. That and hand writing when almost everything we do now is electronic and typing.

  11. This is great but just spit it out…Chablis is a crisp white wine, generally made from Chardonnay grapes of the Chablis region in France.

  12. A comparison of Chablis with German Chardonnay might be interesting, as they are both cool climate grown.
    Subbed. Again. I was dropped for some reason! 😮
