Episode #88 - Mommy...Where do Sommeliers Come From?

In this episode of WineWire TV, Adam sits down with Master Sommelier and founder of The Somm Factory, Bruce Wallner to talk about the role of the sommelier and how we, as restaurant patrons, can get the most out of our dining experience. As an added bonus, Bruce also uses his "mad wine tasting skills" to bang out an epic tasting note on a beautiful Italian white wine.
