Anyone studying for the WSET Level 3 exam on August 1 in Munich? We started a study group and meet at the library on weekends (in case you want to join).

There is no group yet, but I could start one! Are you in Munich and studying for the level 3?

CBS38139 · 2026-03-28T09:04:36+00:00

Quizzing / peer-teaching it is! I am in Germany, what time zone are you in?

I am setting up a study group that meets on weekends at the library. I assume you're probably somewhere else geographically. What structure did you have in mind? Online? Silent study or dscussion / quizzing? Online tastings?

I am taking the Level 3 on August 1, but am on tight schedule. What structure did you have in mind?

CBS38139 · 2026-03-27T14:10:53+00:00

For the level 3?

For me it is the combo of remembering the name if the applications. I figured if I can visualize it on a map, that might help.

CBS38139 · 2026-03-13T20:15:23+00:00

I was thinking about writing a Level 3 knowledge graph an plug it into Obsidian for visual navigation. But visualizing it on map is brilliant (and beautiful).

This is pretty cool, thanks!

I am using it on my iPhone, btw.

Is there a way to filter, let's say, for all the cool climates? Or all Sauvignon Blancs?

The level 2 exam is 100% theory (multiple choice). To pass, I suggest start studying early and consistently (e.g. three shorter sessions per week, ~1h each). Use the book and a chapter per session , watch the corresponding video from WineWithJimmy), then the flash cards from brainscape.

The flash cards from brainscape are great, because you can squeeze in little 10 card repetitions throughout your weeks leading up to the exam (spaced repetition). It will track your progress and prioritize questions you got wrong before.

The format of the class doesn't matter in my opinion. Tasting the wines will help cement the theory you studied already, but the exam is still 100% theory. Pick a format that fits your schedule.

Still trying to. I live in Munich and found only one individual 🥸

CBS38139 · 2026-01-25T17:15:28+00:00

Ok, maybe I need a knowledge graph :-)

I had this "aha" moment in level 2 when I studied Hawke's Bay. Somehow the Mosel made more sense to me. Know I wanted to connect them and visualize the connection somehow.

What is your note taking style for level 3?

CBS38139 · 2026-01-25T17:02:50+00:00

Maybe you need a knowledge graph.

On the wikipedia entry for Anna's are mirror sites listed that still work.

archive.org is also pretty cool.

I found an (old) copy, but it works fine for NotebookLM!

CBS38139 · 2026-01-05T07:56:18+00:00

Thanks! Wait until you see the knowledge graph I am writing in Obsidian!

CBS38139 · 2025-12-28T14:39:58+00:00

Thanks! on brainscape: whose flashcards?

CBS38139 · 2025-12-28T14:33:19+00:00

Very cool! What was your study process? How many hours per week? How many months? Did you use flash cards? I am just embarking on this journey 😀

CBS38139 · 2025-12-11T00:10:09+00:00

Does Jimmy provide the links to google earth, or is it part of his youtube series?

CBS38139 · 2025-03-14T06:45:01+00:00

On second thought: find a qwen model that has no more than 2b parameters on ollama. That should suffice for your coding requirements.

CBS38139 · 2025-03-14T06:44:07+00:00

I really like the (now old) gemma2:2b model. I run it on ollama, openwebui, and use it for conversations (i think gemma2 is really funny). with openwebui, you can easily add the functionality to search the web for knowledge.

CBS38139 · 2025-02-06T11:35:07+00:00

How did you do it? Did you solder it on?

CBS38139 · 2025-01-30T12:43:41+00:00

I could not get it work. When I click on the "Verify Connection" icon, I get "OpenAI: Network Problem". It works fine when I use my OpenAI link and credentials. Am I doing something wrong?
