Oh no! AI is coming to tell you which wines to drink!
It seemed odd to me at first that so many “wine experts” I bumped into clearly didn’t work in the industry. But a look at Japan’s test-taking culture revealed a love for more than just the drink. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/03/17/food-drink/lee-food-wine-certification-japan-sommelier-boom/ #life #fooddrink #wine #japan #sommelier #exam

Friends I'm in need of advice, I ask you to help me with my evening plans because I'm having trouble pairing my selection of wines with this particular movie. I'll also be enjoying a bag of jalapeno flavored Cheese Puffs.
It's quite difficult for me to pair gratuitous nudity with fine wine so please help if you have experience as a sommelier even if you aren't actually certified by the Court of Master Sommeliers, Americas. Thank you in advance.

"In another workshop, candidates had to mix classic cocktails -- Aviation and Sazerac -- with deliberately missing ingredients for which they had to find alternatives."
