We're proud to share that Joe Taylor has achieved WSET Level 2 certification, scoring an 84% on the notoriously difficult exam!

The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) is the global standard for wine education, offering internationally recognized qualifications. Level 2 is a comprehensive examination covering wine regions, grape varieties, production methods, and professional tasting technique.

As EFESTĒ's third-generation owner, Joe is building the expertise to lead our winery forward. This certification gives him the technical foundation and global perspective to make strategic decisions across all areas of the business. Congratulations, Joe!
