Court of Master Sommeliers Eu

@NickiSolent There are many great wine professionals who are not MS or MW. It’s about who you are, what you know, your experience. Please don’t think a badge or piece of paper defines who you are.

A job alert popped up today that (quote) matches my profile - Director of Wine. As fabulous as that sounds, I don't have a red badge, I am not one of the few female Master Sommeliers in the world... #MasterSommelier #Careers #MustTryHarder

'It’s going to take more than an auction or two to dismantle a system that has endured for generations, but revolutions are often started by people who see things in simple terms.' @AdamLechmere on the drive for diversity in the wine world... ➡️ bit.ly/2PpuBe7

Golden Vines Diversity Scholarships to BIPOC and BAME students, £55,000 for each including internship program at a key estate. Funded by Golden Vine Auction through Liquid icons linked with Gerrard Basset Foundation. Time to think big towards #DiversityandInclusion #wine

Hugely ambitious programme in memory of Gerard Basset's to raise £1m in fine wine awards/auction at Annabel's in Oct to fund wine training for BAME & BIPOC communities at all levels including 2 £55k Golden Vine scholarships for MW support. Organised by Liquid Icons & Nina Basset.

To kick off the new year I've interviewed for @somm_business one of the UK's best sommeliers and good friend @MatteoMontone about becoming a #MasterSommelier during the #pandemic @MasterSommWW @EDITIONLondon #sommelier #wine sommelierbusiness.com/en/articles/in…

@HuonHooke @TheRealRvw @nytimes That’s the Court of Master Sommeliers Americas not Europe

#WineNews The Court of Master Sommeliers should be disbanded and re-started from scratch, according to the first woman of colour to become a master sommelier in North America. @TheRealRvw Cc @MasterSommWW @nytimes buff.ly/36HW8Mr

@Globetrottingv1 No. Universal descriptions are good, like lemon, for both. You need to quantify structural descriptions too, like WSET. Eg. Med+ acid not crisp acid

@MasterSommWW I am currently studying certified as well as WSETIII. Will I lose points on cms exams like WSET exams for using the others words? E.g. lemon as a descriptor as in: "a pale lemon wine that smells of lime and orange blossom" and malo conversation vs fermentation
