Breaking news from Hotel Terravina! Three Master Sommeliers under one roof!
We’d just to let you know that we have been celebrating some further fantastic news here at TerraVina…..Both Laura and Laurent, our two fantastic sommeliers have both been successful in passing their Master Sommelier examinations on Friday and Saturday last week.
We are especially proud of them as it is a very hard exam to pass and out of a total of 14 candidates only three were successful. Not only that, but Laurent gained all three parts of the exam, at the very first attempt, which is not the “norm”, as often candidates take one or two attempts to gain all parts of the exam. Thus he has been awarded the Grand Siecle Cup for his results. Laura is only the second ever British, female sommelier since the Court’s creation way back in 1969. Along with all of this, TerraVina is also unique as being the only establishment in the country to have three Master Sommeliers in situ.
Here at TerraVina we are thrilled with both Laura and Laurent’s fantastic achievements but it must be said that this is yet further success to Gerard also, as have both been trained and nurtured by him and this proves yet again that he is a mentor “extraordinaire”.
More details later on as usual but we wanted to share the news with you!
