Kudos to Brice…got my T-shirt too!!

The discussion of brand building in restaurants VS online is an interesting one. For me, I'd say it's 50/50 – I recently came back from Mendoza, where my girlfriend and I discovered a few amazing wines at restaurants and wine bars, then found a store that carried them and brought a few bottles back to the States with us. But watching shows like Gary's, online, provides a much quicker, more interesting approach. And allows consumers to discover and purchase unique wines like these. That being said, I just picked up a couple bottles of the William Wesely 🙂

qotd: That would be the glass of Champagne I had with my fellow candidates and Master Somm instructor’s the 1st time I got through one of their Sommelier courses. Being my 1st one, I was quite nervous. Upon my completion, which was a lot more successful than I had expected, it was great to share a glass of wine with a room full of people who have the same passion and goals and with the Master Somm instructor’s who are the people in the wine world you just about look up to the most.
