We're not going to pretend we are, so we're dropping the O. That's how you spell it in the country that I'm in. But either way, it comes from the Greek for wine and an analogist It's fully something you can major in and become degreed in, is schooled in the science of wines or the study of the nature or qualities or varieties of wine.

So consider this first one kind of a how-to on enjoying and understanding and appreciating wine and reading labels and faking your way through a wine list or not and how to chill or not chill with your wines. So this aologist is someone I've been eyeing for so long and their schedule is bonkers, but it was so worth the wait at the very start of their career as a Sammelier or a wine steward.
