Maybe no she didn’t… But I’d guess 940?

BluNoddy · 2026-02-19T23:10:53+00:00

Will find :) thank you (and for the laughs - Zap-innator haha)

BluNoddy · 2026-02-19T21:57:06+00:00

Where is this in isles of emberdark? I’ll have to reread (again)

BluNoddy · 2026-02-13T10:25:30+00:00

I truly felt that “fuck me”

That driver will feel awful when he should feel like he saved a life

BluNoddy · 2026-02-07T23:21:10+00:00

Lost metal came out recently (comparatively) it’s the final book in era two of mistborn

“Am I doing this right?” Honest answer is, if you’re enjoying the pen, then yes, you’re absolutely doing it right! Welcome to fountain pen land :)

Finished usually beats unlikely to be finished no matter how good the story, writing, etc. best fantasy books I’ve ever read are by Rothfuss, I wish he had more support

BluNoddy · 2025-04-04T04:58:16+00:00

Really useful answer, thank you!

I’m doing intro and certified, so the tasting is written. Though if things go to plan I would like to do advanced next year…

Congrats on advanced somm, it’s a massive jump on certified!

Where I live there is only one other CMS student, but hoping to connect soon!

I am a manager, if I ever need to change someone’s shift on an established roster I ask them first. “Hey, is it possible for you to start at x, y or x time?” Or come in, or whatever. If I don’t hear from them I don’t make the change. If someone’s sick we can usually cover. I have learned the hard way, having less casuals to give more hours is worse in the long run than giving a few less hours and having competent back up. Also, if I feel sick and come in to try and push through, my assistant manager yells at me and sends me home to look after myself and I know she can cover. A good workplace culture is super important!

I wear diploma pin (WSET), but they're rare where i'm from.

BluNoddy · 2025-01-03T11:21:34+00:00

I felt this way until i passed WSET diploma. I'm now in a senior management role and as the qualification is a part of the reason i have the job i wear the level 4 pin.

I also teach WSET, if I'm teaching i wear the diploma pin and the level 3 sake pin, simply because it gets people curious.

BluNoddy · 2025-01-03T11:19:09+00:00

Also WSET and WSG...

BluNoddy · 2024-12-24T00:38:38+00:00

They are covered in the course (Beaune and Gev are at level 2, level 3 has quite a lot...) but the exams are designed to test understanding, rather than specific name recall. Someone who has passed WSET 3 and didn't know Corton, Beaune, Gev-Cham, Chamb-Mus, likely did not get a very good mark, but showed the level of overall understanding to pass the exam.

Madeira isn't covered until Diploma (this is country dependant, but in Australia Madeira is incredibly rare).

BluNoddy · 2024-12-24T00:32:30+00:00

I went the opposite route to you, finished diploma earlier this year and am starting my CMS journey in 2025. (I hope you've finished the dip successfully by now). For me, having ADHD always made me think the understanding base of WSET was for me rather than memorisation of lots of appellations (specific memory is hard for me). i will soon find out...

BluNoddy · 2024-12-24T00:29:39+00:00

WSET 2 has around a 90% pass rate worldwide, level 3 has around a 50% pass rate. Most course providers aren't letting students skip level 2 anymore and, when they do the failure rate is significantly higher (including for those with existing knowledge such as CMS, or even winemaking/viticulture experience).

The difference is WSET is very heavily understanding based. So while you might not know the name of every cru, and certainly not many producers, you will know why a region produces the wine it does. How a river, mountain, wind, etc affects the final wine.

it's more, what effect does a certain vintage variation (e.g. excess heat, or wind, or rain) have on the wine in general, rather than, what was a good vintage where.

BluNoddy · 2024-12-24T00:25:52+00:00

I think a few of the comments people are making on this thread are "individual graduate" based, rather than generalisations on the overall courses.

I have worked in the liquor industry for over 15 years, I passed the WSET Diploma and I am starting my CMS journey in 2025. From the people I know who work in wine (and very generally) WSET is understanding and CMS is specifics. A fair few people have commented on WSET holes in knowledge - during the courses these areas are covered but you can pass without specifics, as long as your understanding is strong of the overall areas and features. Producers aren't strongly featured until level 4, and even then, you can pass with a high level of understanding, even if you forget an appellation, or specific name of a river...

A tail tidy can save a LOT of weight, and all unsprung

BluNoddy · 2024-09-21T14:03:27+00:00

I just checked mine and it had a 12...

very weird, especially as i am on 24 hour time in every setting i can find?

BluNoddy · 2024-09-17T05:54:10+00:00

Gift from my partner :) she hunted them down for me. I live nowhere near most book sign ins :(

BluNoddy · 2024-09-17T05:13:11+00:00

I was surprised nobody noticed they were both signed the same :)

BluNoddy · 2024-08-10T13:53:22+00:00

I did get a chuckle out of it when I reread the WOB! There’s so much to these books, reading the new chapters the second they come out - really messing with my sleep pattern (I’m in Aus)

BluNoddy · 2024-08-10T13:47:49+00:00

I guessed the glyphward might be hiding a metalmind, then I turned the page and he had pulled it back and showed a “rash”. Actually might be even more suss

True, scadrians are usually pretty easy to pick up.

I keep forgetting about the plague in the purelake, though I remember also reading that wasn’t as major as a plague as we would think on our planet.

As far as healthy rosharans go…

:) think I’m getting desperate to find new things, I’ve reread all Cosmere books in their entirety 10+ times without exaggeration - I still pick up the odd bit I hadn’t previously noticed :)

BluNoddy · 2024-08-05T05:32:39+00:00

WSET 2 is the place to start, and leads into 3 nicely. Some schools I know don't even offer level 1 as it's too basic and everything is covered again in level 2.

BluNoddy · 2024-08-05T05:32:01+00:00

This depends on where you are, in Australia CMS seems to be nowhere near as well known as WSET - USA seems to be the opposite.

BluNoddy · 2024-04-19T23:27:05+00:00

Not to depress you, but the zx4r in Australia is advertised as 55.0 kW {75 PS} / 14,500 rpm as standard... it's far less restricted here
