This plant you know for thousands and thousands of years
I mean people have been dedicating in their life to make something amazing out of it
It is living art and you can't appreciate it until you consume it. It's a lot more than just grape juice. It's a drug really.
Sommeliers are professionals that are supposedly experts about knowing about beverage in the line
Sommeliers have become the new rock stars of the vine industry. Some of the most dedicated
obsessed people
So there's this diploma
called the Master of Sommelier Diploma
It's the highest achievement you can make in the world of wine. Over 40 years, there's only been like
170 in the world.
I cried when my parents died. I cried when my children were born.
The only other time outside that I cried was when I passed this exam.
I've got to know every single one on the planet
It's pretty amazing the amount of information you have to know: the regions, the sub regions, the districts, the villages
It's in five languages. Why certain years were good, how to serve it, what to eat with every different kind of wine.
Nothing else in my life has been this difficult.
I've never said anything like
you've worked hard for it isn't gonna be easy. When someone tells you this is something that a lot of people can't do
People go wow that's impressive
Or they say wow I wanna do that. Perhaps to the detriment of your marriage, your relationship. You have to be
sickly gifted, buffets, egomaniacs, completely
obsessed. If you're really serious if you really want to become an MS. You can't do it alone.
They're like guys in the lock room with wine bottles.
So why don't you tell me how to taste them I mean *
I'm sure that as the week goes on, it'll probably just get worse.
Is this happening right now? I don't know, you tell me.
A long part here
Absolutely brutal
This sucks.
I told myself I can be him. I have to be him. I will be him.
