This exam is notoriously rigorous, all three parts of it: a knowledge-based part, a practical part, and then this most difficult part, the tasting portion of the exam. All we've been told is that a current master sommelier released information that was pertinent to the tasting flight of the exam. It's really just been devastating, not only for them, but for the entire wine community.
The people you've been talking with who've lost this - what do they say to you?Įveryone I've spoken to is still in a lot of shock, and they're really surprised, because something like this has never happened before. Which wine is which? Any sommelier worth his or her salt needs to know. It's certainly not necessary for a sommelier, but the people who become master sommeliers work for years and years to achieve this goal. It's probably the most-lauded achievement you could have in the wine world. What does it mean to a sommelier to get this title of "master sommelier"?
Now, 23 wine experts who passed the "master sommelier" exam this fall have lost their designations. They often fail on their first, second or even third try.
Sommeliers work for years before they take it. It's one of the hardest tests in the world to pass.
