Have you seen the documentary SOMM? One of the main figures in the film studying to become a Master Sommelier, Ian Cauble, stopped by SommChat on Twitter to update us on his world. So what is he doing when he's not creating amazing tasting notes on wines involving cut garden hose and freshly opened cans of tennis balls? Here as some of Cauble's most illuminating tweets.

Might I suggest bubbles, too?
@theartofthexpat Grab a good pilsner and forget the wine, if you need wine look for #austrian #gruner or #chablis #sommchat

@lwa235 Practice makes perfect. Trust yur gut. not easy. Drink more wine and blind taste less. Focus on texture and structure. #sommchat

Flashcards are heavier than you think.
@vinogger Its nice not to have to study flashcards. There is a big weight off my shoulders that took a while to feel. Life is good.#sommchat
