Hi everyone! I'm Cynthia from St. Petersburg, Florida. 🍷 I'm a Certified Sommelier currently studying for my Advanced Sommelier certification. Right now, my biggest study challenge is balancing the amount of memorization required with developing confidence in identifying red wine aromas and palate characteristics during blind tasting and memorization in general of the regions. What would make studying more effective for me is having more structured ways to reinforce tasting notes and connect theory to practical tasting. I'm always looking for better techniques to improve my sensory memory and make all the information stick. Looking forward to learning alongside everyone and sharing the journey!
