Mitch's Musings: Back to School

Just like your kids, my staff is hitting the books and going "back to school". As many of you know, we take great pride in knowing as much as possible about the products we sell.  I encourage my staff to take part in educational courses that are offered by organizations specializing in the wine, beer and spirits industry. 

 
Here is a list of everyone on the team, what they've accomplished, and what they are currently taking part in:


Codey- WSET Level 2 and 3, Certified Sommelier (with both Court Of Master Sommeliers and Sommelier Society of America), Level One Cicerone- Studying for Level 3 Sommelier (Court Of Master Sommeliers)

Ultimately, our goal is to learn as much about the wonderful products that we sell so that we can better serve you, our wonderful clients. The fringe benefit to all of this studying is that it is really fun. Interested in learning more yourself? Sign up for a course.
