Glad to have welcomed the US sommelier from GuildSomm at the castlle. They discovered our work and our new approach of DGC with our Chenin in Anjou. We all had a good time tasting that diversity of Chenin. 💛

Drum roll purlease… 🥁

Houston, we have liftoff 🚀

Winetutor.tv is pleased to announce the launch of How to Pass the MW Exam in 101 films, a complete online educational course for students studying for the Master of Wine exam 🍷 🤓

There are 50 films in the Practical section and 51 in the Theory section, a total of 22 hours and 42 minutes viewing. Which is all the Harry Potter films plus three hours, or the complete Lord of the Rings, twice.

These films are a result of the 100 Days to Pass webinars I’ve been running since 2019, which have given me the opportunity to both teach and learn from hundreds of students from all over the world, feedback and outcomes that have been included in these films.

I’d like to thank those MWs who feature in the films, or whose advice and insight I refer to: Alex Hunt, @antonygmoss @dawndaviesmw @fergaltynan Gerard Basset @giles.cookemw @elizabeth.gabaymw @winerepublic @nickjacksn @patrickmcgrath652 Philip Tuck @bampwine @rodwsmith68

We’re thrilled to announce the 2026 recipients of the Anne-Claude Leflaive Memorial Award, in partnership with @guildsomm! Congrats to @alexcmares and @sakeanonymous, who will each receive $5K to support their continued education and greater wine community.

Their authenticity and passion for our industry reflects the qualities Anne-Claude Leflaive brought to her remarkable life and career. We're proud to invest $10K in the continued growth of our sommelier community.

𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐒 joined Bourbon Steak New York as Wine Director in 2024 and earned the Master Sommelier diploma from the Court of Master Sommeliers in Sept. 2026.

His professional interests center on the relationship between wine and food, with particular expertise in Napa Valley, Burgundy, Piedmont and Barolo, and Tuscany.

He's active in NY’s sommelier community, mentoring advanced exam candidates and young professionals and organizing tasting groups.

“We have an amazing community of wine students at all levels, and as my education has progressed, I’ve made a conscious effort to invest that experience back into the next generation of sommeliers. My goal has always been to help create a stronger, more generous wine community where knowledge is shared and success is collective; and this has made me a better professional.”

𝐑𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐠 is a NYC–based beverage professional and a Sommelier at RAON. He completed the Institute of Culinary Education’s Intensive Sommelier Training and earned the Court of Master Sommeliers Certified Sommelier credential in 2025. He has a particular interest in connecting rigorous beverage education with accessible hospitality and creating opportunities for developing wine professionals.

“I try to make the rooms I'm already in more educational and less guarded. I train colleagues across wine, sake, Korean sool, and cocktails, and turn what we learn into language staff can use with guests. Since our menu is built around Korean fermentation, I also advocate for Korean beverages as subjects worthy of the same rigor we give Burgundy or Champagne, while showing how classic wines can meet unfamiliar flavors without reducing either tradition to a novelty."

One of the highlights of this week’s 2026 Wine Champs experience was an engaging seminar and blind tasting led by Master Sommelier @cmtanghe at the @sonomacountywinegrowers headquarters. The session offered a thoughtful exploration of two varieties, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc, that speak distinctly and compellingly to Sonoma County’s diverse terroirs.

Recapping an unforgettable few days in Sonoma County!

We were thrilled to once again partner with GuildSomm to welcome 12 Sommeliers who competed for a chance to participate in the 2026 Sonoma County Wine Champs trip.

Over three immersive days, the group experienced Sonoma County wine country firsthand from vineyard tours and harvest experiences to “truck talks” with growers, educational seminars, and wine-filled gatherings featuring some of the region’s finest wines.

Programs like Wine Champs offer a special opportunity to connect the next generation of wine leaders with the growers, vineyards, and winemaking community that make Sonoma County so unique. We’re grateful for the conversations, connections, and shared passion for Sonoma County wine!
