John, with over 10 years of experience in the wine and hospitality industry, shares his unexpected beginnings with a criminology degree and his transformation into a wine expert, of sorts.
We’ll chat about the details of the Sommelier certification process, including the rigorous tasting, theory, and service exams. John talks about his preparation methods, the challenges he faced, and the broader implications of having such extensive wine knowledge.
We also touch on the differences between different Sommelier levels—certified, advanced, and master—while addressing some big misconceptions along the way.
