With the popularity and availability of wine education programs more prevalent than ever, we wanted to go directly to the source of one the most prominent and renowned organizations in the world to learn more about the trends in the business.
In this podcast episode, Wine Enthusiast’s Chief Education Officer Marshall Tilden III sat down with the Global Business Development Director and Executive Director of the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET for short) of the Americas, Dave Rudman to get the skinny on the current happenings.
We learned a lot about the evolving education landscape, and exciting programs now available for lovers of wine, spirits, sake and, most recently, beer.
We also dig into what kind of programs are best suited for the various levels of wine drinkers and full out wine geeks. And why AI may or may not have a positive impact on the wine education world. Rudman also sheds some light on how the WSET was founded, and how it became an educational powerhouse here in the U.S.
And, of course, what would a wine discussion between two Level 4 Diploma graduates be without a full on WSET-style Systematic Approach to Tasting in-depth analysis of a wine. So, take a listen as Rudman and Tilden analyze a wine according to the SAT method, and see if you agree with their assessment.
