And just like that, a week in Lisbon comes to an end. 🇵🇹

My second appearance representing Chile on the world stage, 2026 ASI Best Sommelier of the World competition. 🇨🇱

66 candidates, all champions of their respective countries, competing at the highest level for the title . 🌎🏆

Only 20 made it to the semifinals, and 3 did advanced to the final at the Coliseu. Congrats @pascalinelepeltier🇫🇷 @ohmochi0422 🇯🇵 @nikolaisvorte 🇳🇴 for all the effort and such an amazing performance on stage.

For me, wasn’t the result I was hoping for, as I couldn’t make it to the semifinals. Honestly, I gave it my all. I trained hard throughout the whole year, and overall, I felt good during the competition. 

The level was extremely high, and honestly, I just wasn’t good enough on this occasion. It’s a competition, and some of my colleagues performed better than I did. That’s all there is to it and as a fan as well of the “sport”, I’m extremely happy for them. 

Everything happens so fast, and the tasks are incredibly demanding. You’re constantly racing against the clock, and you have to stay sharp, focused, and fully present at all times. Even the slightest hesitation can cost you a valuable second, and sometimes that’s all it takes to make the difference.

I’m truly grateful for the experience, for the opportunity to challenge myself once again and for have had the chance to represent Chile🇨🇱🍷.

Thank you all for your supportive messages throughout that week. They meant a lot 🖤.
