SOM 1

Chad can do just about anything he puts his mind to, just sometimes he needs a little push. So he left today for Chicago to take his SOM level 1 class & test. Luckily he has a friend from high school, Scott, who lives there that he can stay with and enjoy some time catching up on life. He has 2 days of lecture and then at the end of day 2 is the test. It is a multiple choice test, but basically pass or fail. We are missing him, but wishing him lots of luck!

Here is the definition of what a SOM is:
A sommelier or wine steward, is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, commonly working in fine restaurants, who specializes in all aspects of wine service as well as wine and food matching. The role is more specialized and informed than that of a wine waiter.

Update****Chad passed his SOM 1 test. He is now officially a Guild SOM.
