I focus on whites, and include many wines from British Columbia, where I live; in particular I try to cover as many BC Rieslings as I can each year. In the fall of 2010, I completed the WSET Level 2 Intermediate Certificate in Wines and Spirits from Fine Vintage Ltd, instructed by Lynn Coulthard—an excellent course and instructor. (I took the Level 1 Foundation course in early 2006, instructed by James Cluer). I use the Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine (PDF).
