James Suckling Masterclass 'Office Hours' Q&A

I did a live Masterclass Office Hours Q&A session discussing all things wine earlier this month. Have a look and see if I covered anything you might be curious about. My full Masterclass is also available here: www.masterclass.com/jamessuckling

I took the class and really enjoyed it and now buy great wine cheaper than before.

How to taste and review cigars by James Suckling:
1. Smoke half an inch of the cigar.
2. Immediately say it's great and rate it over 90 points.

Hello James Suckling! My name is Brent Nolan and I served 12 years in the Navy. I lived in Sicily, Italy for 3 years and discovered and fell in love with wine there between 2010-2013. In mid 2013 I realized that I had potential for a career in wine when the owners of the Gambino Winery on Mount Etna offered to employee me as a sommelier and general worker when I tasted their wine and told them exactly the procedures of how they produced it and the flavors present. Sadly I had to turn it down due to active duty navy contract and orders. Anyway I’m out of the Navy and pursuing and career in the wine industry and have found inspiration in you and your history and talent. I would love to have you mentor me through the process. Please get in touch with me if you are interested. Thank you James Suckling!!!

[@hermannballesterosv]

Everyone knows who you are. I find it incredible that you present yourself as a Master class instructor. I just can’t believe it.

[@bommaritohawaii]

Hermann Ballesteros What do you mean?

I guess they don’t realize who they’re asking the questions to. Unbelievable.
