The program is amazing and made me understand the nuances (and there are many) about Spanish wines other than your usual Rioja and Priorat. I strongly recommend SWS for anyone who desires to vastly expand his knowledge on this fascinating country and its wines.

Overall a really great program. You get to know ALL about Spanish wine but the exam is focused on the most important stuff. I love that nothing is left out in the material but you are well aware of what you need to know for the exam. Also love the historical parts so much easier to understand the wine if you know the story behind it.
