An illuminating guide to a career as a sommelier written by acclaimed food and drink writer Rosie Schaap and based on the real-life experiences of experts in the field—essential reading for anyone considering a path to this profession.

Wine is a pleasure, and in its pursuit there should be no snobbery. The sommelier is there to help, to teach, to guide. Acclaimed food and drink writer Rosie Schaap profiles two renowned sommeliers to offer a candid portrait of this profession. Learn the job from Amanda Smeltz, a poet and wine director in New York, and Roger Dagorn, a James Beard Award–winning Master Sommelier. From starting in the cellar, grueling certification exams, to tastings and dinner service, Becoming a Sommelier is an invaluable introduction to this dream job.

Misleading

It is a good book. But isn’t really what most people researching sommelier are looking for.

Zzzzzzzz

lots of babble. filler by someone who is not a sommelier herself. decent delivery but the content leaves much to be desired. could not complete it.

Nothing, horrible and useless

Nothing about the wine, it’s just Amandas success story which i don’t care at all

Waste of time. Not about the title.

They need to change the title to stories about Sommeliers. This book is not about how to become a Sommelier.
The author spends more time telling stories and trying to sound eloquent and artistic than talking about content.
I think she likes hearing herself or flattering herself rather than giving content for readers, on how to become a Sommelier.
This was a waste of time, and no help if you truly want to become a Sommelier.
