What should I do this summer? I want to be a sommelier and have no idea how I might get entrance into the field. I speak pretty good Spanish and would love to work abroad, perhaps in vidiculture. The career center has not been helpful. Also, does the term sommelier apply only to the wine guys in restaurants, or would it also be appropriate to refer to the guy from Wellspring, for example, as a sommelier.
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: You might want to start sooner in your job search, and perhaps with the Sommelier Society of America (http://sommeliersocietyofamerica.org/), The Court of Master Sommeliers (http://www.mastersommeliers.org/), and the American Sommelier Association (http://www.americansommelier.com/). By the way, a sommelier is an expert in wine and its appreciation, wherever he or she works.
