My April birthday weekend celebration in Carmel . So many of you came to Carmel to join in the fun, and I was very happy to see you all. For those of you who couldnât be there, the weekend started off with Jim Martinez and Laura Didierâs wonderful tribute show that seems to have become an annual tradition.
Sommelier = Wine Expert. While some wine consumers may consider themselves experts, a true wine expert is called a sommelier. A sommelier, also known as a wine steward, is a person that has undergone training in order to become extremely knowledgeable about wine. It can take many years of training to become a master sommelier.
The term, French for someone who grows grapes or makes wine, is often used in Australia to describe a winemaker who is also involved as an owner or manager as opposed to a person who is employed only to make wine, who is generally referred to as a winemaker. It is also used when referring to a winemaker from France.
