I'm a Diplom Biersommelier. I have been thinking about the Cicerone program, but I have a hard time figuring out how the two relate.

Where am I at, roughly, in the Cicerone program? I see a lot of overlap, but there might be material the Cicerone program covers that my sommelier curriculum didn't cover. Does anyone know of a somewhat detailed comparison?

Good times, cont.: Once upon a time (in 1998), Agustin Huneeus managed to board a couple dozen of the country's top sommeliers on a long flight to Chile, where this one shot was taken (from left): Roger Dagorn MS, Josh Wesson, Rob Constantino (Sante), Larry Stone MS, moi and Raj Parr. #sommelier #sommelierlife #randycaparoso

Countdown to a trip this weekend. Will be on my way to the #KiesbyeAkademie at the #BierKulturHaus in #Obertrum, #Austria. Two days of intense but fun coursework and an exam should hopefully make me a ("International Diplom") #Beer #Sommelier by Tuesday night.

On our way on Sunday, we will have dinner at #Weihenstephaner and we might have lunch on our way back on Wednesday in #Bamberg. Will live-mastodon some highlights of the trip!

Friends I'm in need of advice, I ask you to help me with my evening plans because I'm having trouble pairing my selection of wines with this particular movie. I'll also be enjoying a bag of jalapeno flavored Cheese Puffs.
It's quite difficult for me to pair gratuitous nudity with fine wine so please help if you have experience as a sommelier even if you aren't actually certified by the Court of Master Sommeliers, Americas. Thank you in advance.

Last weekend I enjoyed hosted an event focused on BIPOC owned wineries for our Wine Pairing Weekend blogging group.

Here's my featured pairing: Jerk Chicken Pasta with "Bottoms Up" Riesling based blend from Willamette based Maison Noir Wines.

The article has the recipe & links to an interview I did with winery owner & nationally recognized #sommelier, André Hueston Mack.

Not only that:
"To add a level of complexity competitors must additionally compete in one of ASI’s official languages: English, French, or Spanish. Additionally, the language they chose to compete in must not be their mother tongue." #sommelier

As if mastering an ever-expanding world of wine wasn't tough enough:
"the semi-final -- identify five non-alcoholic drinks from around the world and imagine a vegan menu to accompany them."
"In another workshop, candidates had to mix classic cocktails -- Aviation and Sazerac -- with deliberately missing ingredients for which they had to find alternatives."

Conoce la BODEGA DE MOYAEs un proyecto en el que descubrimos las viñas de Valencia y usan las variedades de uva autóctonas. Combinan lo mejor de dos mundos: viñas viejas y variedades de uva casi desaparecidas por un lado, y las técnicas más modernas para hacer el vino una obra de arte .

El objetivo es incorporar la esencia de la hermosa zona Mediterránea de Levante en estos vinos. Las viñas viejas nos dan vinos ricos, complejos y fantásticos, que acompañan muy bien la buena comida de la zona.

Además, estos vinos tienen un precio accesible.A la bodega gusta llamar a sus vinos «lujo asequible».mas info aquí https://zonabartender.com/index.php/2023/01/20/conoce-la-bodega-de-moya/ #vinos #cepas #bodegasdevino #sommelier #bogota #colombia
