Congratulations to José Luis Álvarez Periáñez, SWS, for passing the Spanish Wine Scholar exam with highest honors!
About José:
Yes, I’m a wine enthusiast. I’m a chemist but the wine is my passion. I always want to know more about the different regions in the world and tasting wines from all of them.
I started to study the WSET program and I have completed WSET 3. After that, I heard about the Wine Scholar Guild program, and I had the opportunity to do the French Wine Scholar that I passed also with Highest Honors. I think that this program really helps to understand with many details the wine regions of a country. Next year I’m already planning to do the Italian Wine Scholar…
I used to help to organize different tasting groups (even blind tastings) and I think that SWS gives me the opportunity for sharing what I have learnt to other wine enthusiasts organizing and giving tastes from a specific region.
