I’m Lawrence Francis, Host of Interpreting Wine, welcoming you to a special episode focusing on WSET D6 dissertation technique, with Anne McHale MW. 

Today, Anne will cover the six pitfalls she’s observed based on her extensive analysis of the examiners report and from discussing feedback received by prior D6 students. 

Also giving tips on how to address each pitfall.

Essential listening for any student submitting their D6 assignment in 2025, who want to get the best marks possible.

If you’re looking for additional support with the current D6 assignment, you may like to know, Anne is currently offering paid access to recordings of her recent webclasses. 

The first featuring Caroline Hermann MW covering the Virginia wine industry through the lens of the D6 assignment. 

The second features Anne in-depth on D6 technique. 

There are many additional resources included with purchases, which I’ll mention in the show outro, so do listen to the end to hear those.

I have partnered with Anne to offer Interpreting Wine listeners purchasing one or both webinars via my affiliate link a unique set of bonuses. 

Bonus 1 - access to the completely updated overview doc covering all WSET Diploma episodes on Interpreting Wine.
