I used Taste for every flight, every wine, every time. Get the app now. I can't recommend it enough. I wouldn't have passed without it, and I recommend it to all my students.
Before Taste, I tracked my tasting reps in an Excel doc with color coding on performance. But that gave me no real data on what aspects of the wine I was getting wrong, just correct or not. It showed me volume and frequency, and that was it.
I used Taste for every flight, every wine, every time. It was so useful to see if I was accidentally missing aspects of the grid, with real objective precision. Such a good way to be more methodical with your performance and accuracy.
Being 100% held accountable for what you say keeps you very focused. I didn't want any slots left blank, so I made sure I hit every single component every time, even when I was tired. Practice like you play, right? And having the data afterward really helped me focus on which grapes needed more work.
