Sommelier Certification: Passport to a New Life

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

I know how you feel: This posting was supposed to be glamorous; but there is no glory – you’re trapped in a menial job taking care of retired Hollywood animal-stars, shoveling the poop of Lassie 8 while being pelted with melon-rinds thrown by the orangutan from Dunston Checks In. You long to work in a world where people respect you for your esoteric (but important!) knowledge. It is time to get your sommelier certification. With this credential, you could work at an upscale hotel, counseling the owner about which bottles of wine to stock, all while hobnobbing with human celebrities. The chances of being abused by a great ape, while still present, are far less likely. Yes, sommelier certification is your ticket to a new knowledge, and a new life in the world of wine.
