Congratulations!

Congratulations to Greenville Wine Meetup members Kathy Wilson, Julia Scholz (of Stella's Bistro in Simpsonville), and Jim Villanueva, all of whom passed their Court of Master Sommeliers Introductory examination after an intense but enjoyable two-day program and written examination!

Big congratulations, too, to Greenville Wine Meetup member, Jason McAtee (Grassroots Wine Wholesalers) who passed his three-part Certified Sommelier exam, during which you pass a written knowledge examination, a blind tasting exam, and a service demonstration, during which the Master examining candidates can ask virtually any question on wine, food pairings, beer, spirits, or cocktails—while expecting prompt, gracious attention to the service tasks (opening sparkling wine or decanting an old red wine).

Well done, all!   Greenville is proud of you.  And as organizer of The Greenville Wine Meetup and a friend of each one, I'm especially proud and happy for you.  Cheers!
