Took the entrance exam and passed. Now to find a tasting exam and start studying.
Congrats Charles!
Too cool. Someday I hope my barbaric palate will be able to handle the tasting exam! 
According to the competition calendar there are a couple of comps within an hour of you happening at the end of May, might be someone there who can administer the “taste test”… provided there isn’t someone local. ;D
Great job!
I may be wrong, but I think there are still openings for the taste exam in Grand Rapids next month.
I think I’ll be looking at San Diego in dec.
I passed the entrance exam yesterday. This will be the best studying ever.
