Time to retire my well-loved 8th edition of the World Atlas of Wine and dive into this new batch of geeky goodness that Hugh Johnson JancisRobinson.com and have crafted!

Don’t you just love the smell of a new wine book?!?

🍂 Fall is approaching, and October exams are getting closer! 🍷

If you’re preparing for your WSET Diploma D3 exam, we’ve got two of our most popular study groups coming up to help you sharpen your skills and head into exam day feeling prepared:

👩🏻‍💻 D3 Theory Study Groups
Work through the five broad types of questions that commonly appear on exams, practice structuring your answers, and get feedback in a small-group setting. Space is limited!

🍷 Blind Tasting Study Groups
A chance to practice your assessments and analysis, calibrate your tasting skills, and get feedback on how to maximize your marks.

Both are designed to be practical, focused, and a little less stressful than studying on your own. 😉 You are not alone!

And remember: Elevage Membership includes all of our study sessions and webinars for just $20/month.

Ready to get serious about October? Sign up on our website—or DM us for more information!

One of the most legit “celebrity wines” there was. A sad loss for the wine world as well as film/TV.

Last Sunday was our favorite day of the year because we finally got to meet our Elevage coaching clients in person and toast their successful completion of WSET Diploma! 🥳

We hosted a celebration for students (& their support teams!) who were able to come to London for the graduation ceremony—complete with several bottles of wine representing all Diploma units. 🍷🍾

We’re alongside students throughout their Diploma journeys, supporting them through all the ups and downs, the stumbles, and the steady strides. 🤗 And we’re so thankful to celebrate their achievements and clink glasses together at the finish line! 🥂

Congratulations to all WSET Diploma graduates, and thank you to our Elevage cohort for letting us be part of your journey. Take time to savor this achievement! 👏🏻

Wine Students! Here’s a podcast to add to your rotation – one that has nothing to do with wine, but will help you immensely with your studies and exams (AND motivation if you’re lacking that right now!) 👏🏻

The podcast has TONS of suggestions for smart study habits, creative methods for retention of information and maintaining your enjoyment of learning. 🤓🎧

His recent series focuses on keeping a healthy mindset during your studies 🧘🏻‍♀️📚 (highly recommend episode 195 with for tips on managing stress and feelings of overwhelm!)

Here are a few others well worth checking out:

177 – Exam Technique: 3 Mistakes to Avoid
166 – Better Grades with Interleaving and “Desirable Difficulty”
147 – Overcoming Retrieval Resistance (this one’s for you WSET Diploma students who might find yourself dragging your heels to write out answers to practice questions!) 😉

I have yet to listen to an episode where I didn’t learn something valuable! 🤗

Last week was the annual graduation ceremony for WSET Diploma students - and we had 30 of our clients graduate from the program! 🍾🎓

We hosted an Elevage gathering at to celebrate their amazing achievement!! 🤩 After months of working together virtually, it was wonderful to finally meet these dedicated individuals in person and be able to clink glasses and toast to their success. 🥳🥂

A note to current (and future!) WSET Diploma students: each of these graduates was where you are Right Now. The same struggles and doubts. Wondering if they’d studied enough. But They Did It – and so will you!! 👏🏻💪🏻

You’ve Got This! 🤗

As wine students, we often purchase wine based on whatever exam we’re studying for in order to work on identification, assess structure, analyze quality, etc. 🤔 Exam preparation frequently dictates what we drink – and sometimes, it’s not the stuff we particularly enjoy (sorry White Zin! 😜)

But what about “non-study wines”? You know, those wines that you don’t plan to assess or analyze. The ones that may not even be “testable.” The wines you buy Just Because You Enjoy Them! 🤩

It’s been awhile since I had a haul like this that was Completely and Totally non-study wines! 👏🏻 They ranged from one of my favorite rose wines (Zweigelt from Austria) to an easygoing & uncomplicated Albarino to a Nebbiolo sparkling rose. And even some RTDs. 😉

It was refreshing to stock up on wines where my intention was simply to enjoy as opposed to evaluate.

What are some of your go-to “non-study wines”? 🤗

We’re putting together our plans for 2025 and would LOVE your input! What type of content would be most helpful for your wine studies? 🤔 Would you like to see more quizzes and trivia? Webinar offerings on certain topics? IG Live sessions where we “examine the exams”? Tips for staying motivated and mindful with your studies? Something else?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unlike a wine exam – there are NO wrong answers! 🤣 Let us know with a comment below, send us a DM or email us: [email protected].

Thank you for helping us make our content as valuable as possible for wine students! 🤗

What do these two wines have in common? They’ve both been featured on WSET Diploma exams MULTIPLE times! 📝🍷

Reviewing past exam wines is a smart study strategy. 🤓 These wines are selected for specific reasons: they might show typicity of style, reflect winemaking or climate clues, or represent a certain quality level.

When studying past exam wines, go beyond asking yourself “how do I nail this wine?” and consider what type of analysis Examiners are looking for. 🧐 For example, these two specific exam wines are easily (and frequently!) confused with other wine styles. Being able to explain why the Maury isn’t a Ruby Port, or why the Roederer is from California and not Champagne, is likely to gain more marks than simply identifying the wine without “showing your work.” 👏🏻

Have you used past exam wines in your studies? ⬇️
