>On his blog, Narito specifically mentioned the MS exam, which was held in September in St Louis. "We had an historic pass rate of 24 new Master Sommeliers, the largest in the history of the Court... and it's all thanks to me" he wrote. "Of the 24 passing candidates, four were students of mine."

>Of the 24 candidates, 23 sat the tasting exam that was annulled. It is understood the list of wines to be tasted was leaked to just one person.

>A spokesperson for the court said there was no new information today and declined to make any comment when asked about Narito, except to say: "The board has not offically named anyone at this stage."

>The Court said it would refund all fees collected for the tasting portion of the exam, and hold two retesting opportunities, one before the end of this year and another during the spring or early summer of 2019. Candidates could choose either retest opportunity or could take the retest during the regularly scheduled examination program in 2019. The examination fee for the retest would be waived, and assistance with travel costs would also be available where appropriate.

>However, that might not be enough for all the devastated candidates. One of them told SevenFifty Daily that the experience had been the last straw.

>"I will probably be one of the candidates who will not retake the exam," the anonymous source said. "I know this is not the intent, but I feel like a martyr. A lone vigilante standing up to the tyranny of the Court. I am embarrassed, though I did nothing wrong. I want to find a different industry to work in, maybe food blogging. I want this to be over."

Jokes aside this is a very major deal for the men who worked very hard to legitimately pass the test and were stabbed in the back by the once-revered Court of Master Sommeliers. It's harder to become a doctor than it is to be a sommelier, but in actuality it's harder to become a Master Sommelier than it is to become a neurosurgeon or astrophysicist. That blind taste test is the Dark Souls of the food industry.

Food bloggers make quite a bit of money

Wine is a scam. Most people can't even tell the difference between white and red in blind tastings.

>>11380180
Most people shop at Walmart, love capeshit/soy wars movies, love mcdonalds and can't cook to save their miserable lives and thus have zero real taste. A TRUE wine sommelier knows the difference. A TRUE MASTER sommelier can tell you the grape variety, the year, and the brand. You're an ignorant NPC spouting the same tired old meme that you heard on TV.

>>11380223
But this is exactly you shouldn't be upset that the Court decided to make people retest.

Standards. Blame that one idiot that leaked the test info but don't blame the court for upholding a standard.

>>11380246
The MS exam is harder than anything a neurosurgeon or astrophysicist has to take because they just have to remember stuff. For the MS exam you have to train and perform more like an athlete because you are relying on your senses more than anything. Any 2-bit dickhead nerd can go to university to become a neurosurgeon or astrophysicist, but it takes real skill and dedication to become a Master sommelier

>>11380250

Do people die if a Sommelier fucks up? If not then I wouldn't compare the skills and nerve required to be one or the other.

>>11380331
>Do people die if a Sommelier fucks up?
Short answer? Yes.

>>11380343
I want the long answer.

>>11380347
Many people are highly allergic to the preservatives used in cheaper and newer wines. A master sommelier can smell and taste the preservatives a mile away which is why they are paid more than a neurosurgeon or an astrophysicist ever will. Their clientele are the cream of the crop unlike doctors who are a diamond dozen.

I hole-hardedly disagree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

t. Advanced somm.

A good friend of mine was one of the 23 that had just passed, he did NOT cheat. It devastated him. I've never seen a man so broken. I know when I went to take my advanced I failed twice. This is a insane test. He is not gonna take it again. This dude works the floor for 40 hours a week, tastes 3 times a week, and studies for about 35 hours a week.

its important to note, the court is covering all fees, and they only need to retake the tasting portion of the exam, still this is a terrible terrible thing that hurts the integrity of the court. I was going to begin my studies for master realistically soon but I am going to hold off.

Fuck you MS Reggie, Also fuck you for the 4 that cheated.

Nobody takes the French seriously when it comes to wine and cheese. We all know that American is the best.That's why the Court of Master Sommeliers doesn't allow French citizens to apply.

>>11382510
The Court of Master Sommeliers does cheese tasting?

The integrity of the exam had already been violated, making the entirety of it invalid. There are high standards to be kept, and I respect them for doing so despite the time and feelings going to waste.

>>11380331
Hes not saying it's a harder job or has greater consequences, just that the process of getting named a Master is harder, not the work itself retard.

>>11383314

>>11380276
You don't have to be good at math or have steady hands to be an MS.

>The left tends to be good for humanity

Like keeping african americans focused on hate & racism so they give up on trying in life thinking they can only be victims and must depend on welfare? I would qualify that as manipulation & "immoral"

>>11383314

Yeah. The left isn't racist at all, because "only white people can be racist."

The right wing starts wars and kills other people. The left just starves & murders their own people. I'd call it a wash. It just depends on if you value your own people over foreigners.

>>11383424
We're not. Just because you are a poorfag that can't afford or appreciate good wine doesn't mean that other people can't either.

>>11383420

This is why history keeps repeating itself, i.e. Latin America.

>>11383443
>The right wing starts wars and kills other people. The left just starves & murders their own people.
Except Pol Pot, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and the Kim dynasty directly murdered more of their own people than fascists like Hitler, Mussolini, or Franco. The former have killed more people in history than the latter, no contest.

Retard, kill yourself. Typical backwards leftist thinking.

>>11383448
Sommeliers fail at real blind tests all the time. They can't tell the difference between 5 and 500 dollar bottles of wine when doing taste testings they weren't prepared for.

>>11383580
Not to mention that if the average Joe (rich or not) can't taste the tiny difference between three different wines, what even is the point of the MS? If the ms didn't exist, no one would even notice the difference, because the MS is the only one who WOULD notice the difference.

>>11383605

Are there autists in the real world who take this shit seriously? Lol

>>11383580
>price dictates quality
Fuck off you gormless cunt.
You never know the quality of the wine until it's opened.

Fuck dude even an otorhinolaryngologist needs the hands of a master pianist for something as simple as pulling wax out of an ear without slipping up and stabbing through the eardrum.

>>11387720
That's still trivial compared to the extremely hard work that sommeliers do to become Master Sommeliers.
