Any reports?

MIDTOWNThe good news is Le Bernardin's lauded sommelier Aldo Sohm is teaching a wine seminar at the restaurant. The bad news: it's $295 a head. The class takes place on May 22, covers wines from South America, and includes a dinner where Sohm will goes through pairings step by step. [EaterWire]

There is a nice series of pictures of The Sohmelier doing a wine pairing up on J. Parzen's site dobianchi.com

Nice.

Wonder how Joe Dressner would respond to hearing him referred to as "Somm/Sohm"?

Be interesting to know if he has any special insight into South Americans that break the point-chasing mold.

Wasn't somebody around here bothered about The French Laundry not carrying wines from Chile? Whoever that was, sounds like a nice event happened for you.

I'd be more concerned about point-chasing mold, really...

I'll tell you stories about cities with population in the millions where the top hotels carry wines from nowhere else but chile

Be glad you have a choice.

For now.

Yeh, it reads the papers and coughs when others cough.
