About this episode

This week Shaughn and Ellen take the show on the road! All the way to San Diego! They took The Court of Master Sommeliers intro level course! A full two day lecture and then a killer exam! Did they pass?? You'll have to listen to find out! Join them at the glam resort and go through the process of taking the course with them: from watching the instructors imbibe on their own time to learning how to do a proper blind tasting using the deductive method!  The wine of the week was a stellar Bandol rosé from sponsor Gregory Condes Wines, but plans went awry and a Ridge blend made a surprise appearance! Bonus interviews with a fellow wine-test taker/stuntwoman Katie and master somm Sur are included! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
