International Sommelier Guild Level 1 achieved!
2008-02-11 16:10:00 I firmly believe that education is an important part in the development of ones career. I also hope that future employers hold the same belief system. As one runs up against obstacles in the work place, it shows you areas that you can improve. As I stated in a previous post “Take charge of the Wine” I mentioned that I would be enrolling in a sommelier course. Well, I have just completed it! Yay!  I must say, I have certainly improved my confidence when speaking about wine. The course was both comprehensive and intensive. The International Sommelier Guild has a total of four levels- An overview of major grape varieties, regions, tasting & serving with bits here and there on cellaring. A much deeper look into those issues above but with a stronger emphasis on tasting. This is the diploma level- It’s a tough program delving deep into wine evaluating and wine menu building using and building on everything learned in level 1 & 2. When you...

Prosecco and Sabers ? Who?s your Daddy!?!
2007-07-20 23:58:00 A one-line headline on the newswires caught my attention:?Winemaker Gianluca Bisol, the group will gather in the northern town of Treviso at the weekend to display their skill at opening champagne bottles by slicing off the top with a saber.?The Bisol family makes a few really good Prosecco wines. Many know that the method of making many Prosecco wines is the Charmat not the Champagne method. It seemed reasonable to think that anything having to do with Bubbly would interest Gianluca Bisol. He is involved in most of the wine and educational associations in Veneto.Opening a bottle of Champagne or Prosecco with a saber seemed a bit sensationalist. I assumed that they were talking about some new bottle opener called the saber. I was amazed to find that it is exactly what it says it is, open a bottle of Champagne with a sword. There is a worldwide association of Saber Rattlers. The association counts 30,000 members in 12 countries. The newest chapter of the group is opening in Treviso.T...
