Tim has recently been studying hard to brush up on wine regions that he hasn't (yet) visited.
Recent certificates include a Rioja Wine Diploma awarded by the Control Board of the DOCa Rioja and also the Champagne MOOC Certificate (with merit) awarded by the Comité Champagne.
He also recently passed World of Wine: From Grape to Glass, a course run by The University of Adelaide.
Update: Tim just passed Wine Tasting: Sensory Techniques for Wine Analysis. A course run by the University of California, Davis. You can see how he got on here.
Tim's currently getting acquainted with the blossoming British wine scene and really enjoying the sparkling wines they're making.
Tim's recommendation of the month is the Coates & Seely Reserve Brut NV (hailing from Hampshire, England). Try it, it'll alter your perception of British wine!
