To open their Top-100 festivities this year, Wine & Spirits hosted their inaugural Sommelier Scavenger Hunt on Monday of this week. The event was designed to seek out, and celebrate the new classics of domestic wine.

As Wine & Spirits editor, Joshua Greene, explained, the last six months have been spent preparing for the Sommelier Scavenger Hunt event. Towards that end, five teams of three sommeliers each from around the country were selected. Each team was then assigned to visit a different domestic wine region tracking a particular varietal expression for that region. In traveling the region, they were meant to study the region’s specific viticultural conditions, and then select six wines to represent a coherent picture of the breadth and typicity of their region’s unique terroir. Along with each region’s flight, the sommeliers offered a ten minute informational presentation.

Jay, thanks, but the message you cite totally taxes my patience.

What does it intend to say?

I can vouch that Ms Boyd did have a good team in the Wine & Sprits event I referenced.

Pete, There was a time (pre-2005) when Ms Boyd occasionally consorted with the NYC wine geeks. Due to her rising fame, and due to no one having a female-gendered form of "sommelier" handy, she was dubbed "Star Chick Sommelier" by an aloha-shirted author of our acquaintance.
