Congratulations to Andrew Belcher, SWS, for passing the Spanish Wine Scholar exam with highest honors!
About Andrew:
I am a wine enthusiast. I have been attending the various courses at West London Wine School since just after it started up over 10 years ago; I also attend courses at some of the wine shops in London and regularly attend the Decanter wine events in London. I have travelled to a number of wine regions across the globe from US to Australia.
I love the back stories to the wines irrespective of whether they are classed as “New“ or “Old” World. I like to travel to various wineries, luckily with English Sparkling wine doing so well more local opportunities are available.
Prior to undertaking courses with the Wine Scholar Guild, I undertook a number of the WSET courses up to and including the WSET Diploma. With the Wine Scholar Guild I have taken the French Wine Scholar, Italian Wine Scholar, Champagne Master, Bordeaux Master, Rhone Master and more recently the Spanish Wine Scholar exams. I am now enrolled in the WSET Level 3 Spirits course which I am currently due to undertake in June.
I found the Spanish wine course very interesting and as per other Wine Scholar Guild courses at West London Wine Scholar was introduced to a number of new areas and wine styles. I will be continuing to learn more about wine and spirits this year. Currently signed up with a number of remote wine courses.
