Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful video. Well done and I now appreciate my nephew's efforts to become a Sommelier!!!!
I don't understand all the hateful people in this comment section. These people found their passion and perfected something they truly care about and enjoy. If you can't identify with that, then i sincerely hope you find something that fulfills you someday. Wine tasting isn't quite my niche either, but watching people who are at the top of their craft is inspiring unless you're a talentless little twat with no direction in life.
Tyler Durden I am addicted to cheese. I decided I will learn more and become a cheesemonger instead of quit eating cheese. I can relate to their passion now that I have one.
My dream would be to attend this competition.
Goodness these guys know their stuff
Kudos to the Sommeliers.
Omg that was more intense than my SATs

I didn't know Tommy Wiseau was a sommelier

I need something robust and precise.
Lol. Not that kind of sommelier but I love that movie too!

"i get sort of a woody feeling..." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have a question... I'm completely ignorant to this profession so it may sound stupid to some of you, but how are Sommeliers able to identify the year? I can see how they can identify the region, type, and brand even, but how do they know the year?
+Ingal Adler I think its just a very fine tuned taste. (I think) they work out how old ish it is by the maturity of the taste within 4 years and just fine tune it.... Im going on what I recently saw during a blind tasting.
+Jasongvl - ahhhhh.... That does indeed make sense. So basically they are able to taste the age of a wine, they don't have to memorize the harvests for each year, yes?
i think that's pretty much the gist of it yeah :)
And i guess they fine tuning by knowing what years had good/bad harvests in different regions.
There's a bunch of ways you can get an educated guess as to what the vintage (year) is. Red wines lose colour as they age, white wines gain colour as they age, so that's an indicator. Also, young wines, especially bigger reds, tend to be grittier, almost harsh, and you can just tell by the taste that it is young. Young wines will taste like they haven't opened up yet. After tasting the differences between young and old wines, you notice the difference right away. Also, different grape varietals will go through their arc of aging (getting better to a peak, and then declining) at a different pace. So based on what grape varietal you think it is, and how far along in the process you've perceived it to be, you can make a relatively informed guess as to the age of the wine.
Guy sounds exactly like Jeremy Piven.
THEY MUST BE FUCKING TIPSY AFTER THE TEST!!! LMAOOOOO
Maricris C they don't get tipsy as they just take a sip of the wine swirl it around in their mouth and spit it out !
Cigars? Why not oxycontin ?

It's smellier not Som-Mell-Lee-Eha. This like bacteria they're everywhere. now you have cafe sommelier, H2O sommelier's, It's just wine. Just drink it.
What a load of pretentious crap.
Beau74 How so? When you are selling and serving wine at the highest level you want someone who is credible, knowledgeable, and affable to assist clients in making informed, intelligent choices. Blind tasting is key, because it separates the ones with mere book smarts from those that have well trained palates. This is crucial. Yes, it's a tedious process, but at the top level it has to be!
Michael Dominici Everything you have described boils down to an over-glorified waiter serving pretentious assholes.
You simply have no respect for the highest levels of fine dining. The expectations, the training, providing an exceptional dining experience, and what it's all about. When you spend hundreds of dollars on dinner you don't want an 'over-glorified' waiter...you want a well trained, well-versed professional. Obviously, you don't understand nor appreciate what that's all about. Stick with the drive thru experience. It's very unpretentious!
Michael Dominici You gonna think I'm mad by saying this... People can enjoy a simple drive thru experience and also enjoy a fine dining. Just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it's good and vice-versa. Watching a sunset It's free and It can be enjoyed even by the most poor people on earth. A lot of rich, superficial, dumb people can get a chair at an expensive restaurant, eat and don't enjoy the moment. They will eat because It's sophisticated and exclusive, not because they find the taste pleasurable. Enjoy life, even in the most simple moments.
Denis Fukuda Well said.
wait, this video isn't a joke?
