If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would ever attend some kind of eveningclasses on a regular basis I would have laughed very hard. But last week marked a new era (for me at least) when I started with the first module of the wine courses organised by CVO at PIVA in Antwerp.
Probably there will be quite some redundancy in the first module due to the fact that I already completed the Tastevin Winecourse a few years ago, but as the total number of hours for this 2 year course is far higher I do expect to learn a lot more here. If nothing else I will at least learn another means to analyse and score wines which should allow me to combine the best of these methods into my own personal method of tasting wines.
Teacher of at least the first module is Michel Terlinck who has an immense knowledge about wines so no doubt there will be a lot to pick from his brain.
