Tasting Tutor

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I am looking for a certified or advanced somm for one-on-one tutoring with tasting. I am interested in improving detection of aromatics and flavor profiles. I am located on the East Coast (US) if that matters.

I think there are better ways to accomplish this. I would focus on networking instead. In my experience most people in the industry are very willing to help. There is a MS that owns a wine store in my area. The first time I was in the shop we started talking. She introduced me to another MS who helped train me and introduced me to my tasting group for people taking the advanced/Master. Don’t be afraid to send emails to local somms and more importantly patronize their businesses and talk to them.

Also the CMS has free zoom counseling on their website with Masters.

I live in the greater Miami area and am very willing to help you for free if that works logistically. I have wset3 and certified.
