This 52 weeks of wine (actually a bit more than 52) challenge is inspired by “WSET® Level 2 Award in Wines” tasting recommendations and “Drinking & Knowing Things” book by Michael Amon. The idea behind that is to try either a completely new or less known grape varieties or compare the same variety from different regions or even parts of the world (old world vs. new world).

Each week we are selecting from one up to six bottles, tasting, recording profiles for each wine using WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting® (SAT), and comparing with what we tried before. Most of the time all sessions are dove online, but if we have some special wines, we prefer to meet offline.
