The Wine and Spirit Education Trust is great as apart from learning that Guyot is not actually a French Porn star, they teach you how to taste without looking like a prawn. Have a look at the website for more information as it's better than what I can say and besides, I'm not on commission.
My celebratory purchase was not only modest, but another symptom that my bad case of Pinotphilia is getting worse. I'm not sure that Pinotphilia is a word, and if it is, perhaps it shouldn't be. The Meyer Pinot Noir 2007 (Prince Wine Store $53) not only has a great label (see below) the winemaker, Timo, is also the winemaker at very good Gembrook Hill (see previous notes for the Gembrook Hill Sauvignon). The bloke at the Prince raved about it and Gary Walsh loved it like a brother. And there's that label.
I'm off to be smug and tell people I passed an exam. Be seeing you.

Yey, well done!! I am now coming to you for all advice on all things wine. Great effort.
Top effort mate, you now have a certificate to substantiate any grandiose wine snobbery tendancies.
Good on you Rawshack, I am very happy for you. Wine blogging does not seem to be the easiest thing and anything that helps build confidence can only help. I enjoy yours and other wine blogs for all their different perspectives, and dare I say, the sense of a wine community that they invoke. Cheers jeremy
Thanks everyone - it's safe to say what I lack in talent I more than make up for in ego
I will finally get around to doing an FAq/About section, but I hope eventually that this blog evolves into something more than my inane occassional rants ;)
You should be proud of yourself. Your outstanding result is a testament to your dedication, determination and passion (does this sound too formally pompous?). And why would you want flowers as a congratulory gesture?? Can flowers be pressed, fermented and aged in oak to produce a fine and intoxicating fluid that can be used to truly celebrate your achievement?
