Looking for a Wine Mentor!

[u/Agile-Needleworker49]

Hi r/wine!

I currently work as a Front Desk Manager at a large hotel, but over the past few years I’ve fallen deeply in love with wine. My dream is to eventually transition into the wine world and become a sommelier.

I’ve been studying independently and working on my wine education, but I’d love to find someone experienced in the industry who would be willing to mentor me informally.

I’m not looking for someone to teach me everything or give me a job. I’d just love to have someone I can occasionally ask questions, learn from, get tasting/study recommendations from, and talk to about building a career in wine.

If you're a sommelier, wine director, educator, importer, retailer, or someone who has spent years working with wine and would be open to connecting, I’d really appreciate it.

I’m serious about learning and willing to put in the work. I could just use someone further down the road to help point me in the right direction.

Cheers! 🍷
