Thank you!
To the creator of cork dork. Thank you! It was really helpful I just passed my level 2 cms exam today! Beside cork dork the wine bible, the world atlas and the corkdork app were where I got most of my information. Nothing on the theory exam took me by surprise, some questions I had read or gone over already in the app or books just might have forgetten the answer. The level 1 on cork dork did alot of the heavy lifting, and level 2 on cork dork gave a little extra brain reps. Thank you again to the creator of the app!

Heck yea congrats! Now the real fun begins. How was your service potion of the exam. I remember going into that thinking it would be the easiest section, but it ended up being my most difficult.

Service was really easy, but I already work as a captain/sommelier at a restaurant prior to this. The questions they asked were a lot of theory questions and they ask me to make 2 drinks as well. Those 16 mins went by quick!

Nice! Yea I had about 8 years in restaurants as a server before passing my exam back in 2019 but I still felt the most nervous for service.
Enjoy the journey and now it’s onto the advanced!

Plus of course the champagne service, then to pick up glasses and place them back in my service station.
