Ian Cauble is the wine guy you want to have in your ear. And by "wine guy" we mean just one of 269 Master Sommeliers in the WORLD, and the recipient of the Best Young Sommelier in the World and TOPSOMM awards. If you saw the documentary SOMM, you know exactly who we're talking about. (Blonde. Lots of flash cards. Passionate as hell.... Is that ringing a bell? ) And if you didn't, then please stop reading and turn on your television immediately. Not only is Ian knowledgeable beyond imagination about every aspect of wines, he's also willing and eager to share that knowledge, evidenced in his venture SOMM SELECT. It's like a local wine store if your local wine store was manned by one of the greatest somms in the world. Sounds pretty groovy, right? Settle in as we talk about vermouths, what varietals we should be drinking more of, and what Ian's desert-island wine would be. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
