I worked for the Italian Trade Commission in a PR generalist capacity, even though I spoke no Italian at the time. One of the Italian products I promoted was wine. I became fascinated by wine \u2014 the taste, the variations, the grape varieties, how much there is to know about it. And the people involved in wine, all of them warm and supporting of a neophyte. I learned about Italian wine at a feverish pace. Within three years I was running the Commission&#8217;s Wine Promotion Center and covering the entire U.S. in educating the wine trade and consumers about Italian wine. Wine had become my career path.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cccd09e elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2cccd09e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-small\">2.

Being able to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for wine has been a reward unto itself. But after becoming a Master of Wine in 1993, I was able to bring the Wine &amp; Spirit Education Trust (WSET) courses to the U.S., offering them first at my wine school, International Wine Center, and later enabling schools and companies in other U.S. markets to offer the courses themselves \u2014 and the satisfaction of enabling others to learn grew all the more for me. But the very most rewarding aspect of my work has to be when a student achieves success, especially by earning the WSET Diploma or going on to become a Master of Wine.<\/p><p>The most frustrating part of my job has been the regulations and admin. Not only is wine a regulated product regardless of your job sector, but also WSET understandably has regulatory processes we need to follow to protect the integrity of the credentials, and finally, the NYS Education Department oversees International Wine Center because IWC is a Licensed Career School.

I have taken memorable trips galore, all of them valuable learning experiences. If I must single out one event, it would be a tasting seminar of vintage Madeira at International Wine Center in 1986. David Pamment of the Madeira Wine Company in Funchal was the speaker. We chose the wines locally, all from the early to mid-19th century and one from 1799. Every wine was more astonishing than the one before it and yet was superseded by the next. David&#8217;s stories were so colorful that I can still remember them. Returning to the classroom after the weekend, I could smell Madeira lingering in the room.
