A brief moment of pride.

by Jon Peterson » Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:15 pm

Today, after two days of class in downtown DC, I passed the Court of Master Sommeliers' Introductory Sommelier exam; I really didn't think I would. One reason I took the class was to learn how to describe wine more accurately and meaningfully. About 100 in the class and I was pleased to make friends with a few. I was one of the older students and I enjoyed the course very much. I guess I'll study and go for the next level as I'd like to do something with this if I ever retire.
