Super pumped to say I got 2nd place in the Taste of Italy Best Sommelier Competition. Thanks to @villasandi and the @iacctexas for sponsoring (villa sandi), and putting on this event (Italy America Chamber of Commerce). #sommlife #sommelier #sommeliercompetition #lifewithmark #wine (at Hilton Houston Post Oak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbFxVfcrxAA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Post competition burger and beer. Starting with a @whistlepigwhiskey Piggy Back. The competition was challenging. Easier in some things and harder than others. I came here with low expectations. Not that I would finish last per se, but that I would be be one of the top candidates. I may have a legitimate chance of finishing in the top 3 (the money spots). At least the top 50%. We only had 8 of us. #sommlife #sommelier #sommeliercompetition #wine #somm #lifewithmark (at Hilton Houston Post Oak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbEN46BtqfA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Showtime. Can’t remember the last time I wore a suit and tie. Though my body remembers ;). #sommlife #sommelier #sommeliercompetition #wine #lifewithmark (at Hilton Houston Post Oak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbCyFsguKCK/?utm_medium=tumblr
