Douglas Trapasso ‏@demilove @keepercoll – I have my toes in both camps - #WSET and @MasterSommUS – how do you think programs are same/different? - #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @demilove @keepercoll @MasterSommUS - Both super routes - WSET can often be a route to MS or MW which are both more applied #SommChat

Christopher Miller ‏@noblewines @keepercoll @gormanmcadams where is your home-base? Bordeaux or London or NYC or? #sommchat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @noblewines @keepercoll - Home base is Harlem, NYC but travel to Bordeaux about 4 times a year #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @keepercoll An exciting job + challenge to change the conversation on Bordeaux from one of haute couture to one of ready-to-wear ..#SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @keepercoll Changing the Bdx conversation - Bordeaux is v. affordable. For <$20 you can get a delicious bottle of wine #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @keepercoll Changing the Bordeaux conversation – ‘hipsters drink Bordeaux’ - I hope?? #SommChat

Tia Butts ‏@WineInkByTia @gormanmcadams BWC - Haute couture to ready-to-wear. Love it. Well put! #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @vinogger Re. Where - A lot at retail - but WE need to work harder to get more Bordeaux BTG in every restaurant and wine bar. #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @vinogger - admittedly we have work to do on the front to help people navigate and find affordable Bordeaux .......#SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @vinogger Our Today's Bordeaux Selection is one way. Lots of retail promos planned around the US ... #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @vinogger + email me - I'm building a personal list as I find them too! #SommChat

Todd Trzaskos ‏@vtwinemedia agreed, great intro opportunity MT @gormanmcadams: WE need to work harder to get more Bordeaux BTG in every restaurant & wine bar. #SommChat

Sandy Wasserman CS ‏@SandyWasserman . @gormanmcadams Have you or do you have the desire to make wine? If so where, other than Bordeaux? #sommchat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @SandyWasserman - more of a desire to grow grapes (agricultural background growing up on a farm!) - Champagne has long been a fave #SommChat

Monika Elling ‏@Foundationspr Hi Mary, what is the coolest varietal you tried lately? @gormanmcadams @keepercoll #sommchat #wine

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @Foundationspr @keepercoll - still loving Greek Assyrtiko - firm acidic spine #SommChat

Monika Elling ‏@Foundationspr Any thoughts on the Dry Tokaj wines now in US market? If you like a firm acidic spine… @gormanmcadams @keepercoll #SommChat @PatriciusTokaj

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @vinogger @keepercoll - Love the Languedoc - has untapped potential + had a very interesting sparkling Picpoul when last there ... #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @vinogger @keepercoll Also love everything that is going on in Sicily - especially Etna region #SommChat

Courtney Quinn ‏@Path2Wine As a MW & #Bordeaux expert @gormanmcadams what tips do you have for #WSET & CMS students on learning Bordeaux? #sommchat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @Path2Wine - get to know Bordeaux beyond the Classed Growths and the top RB and LB communes. Visit and talk to the little guys #SommChat

Drew Gourdie ‏@drewbie_g French #wine seems to be having a resurgence in Canada, not sure if sales numbers agree? #Bordeaux @gormanmcadams @keepercoll #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @drewbie_g @keepercoll - Canada (especially Quebec) has been a remains a key market for Bordeaux - so numbers pretty good there #SommChat

TENZING Wine&Spirits ‏@tenzingws .@gormanmcadams Hi Mary, Long time since our Greece trip. What's exciting in rest of the world? #sommchat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @tenzingws - Of course I have to say Bdx - honestly since starting with BWC I am discovering a whole new and exciting side to Bdx #SommChat

Christopher Miller ‏@noblewines @gormanmcadams #sommchat there is so much competition for BTG in the Red Bordeaux category and very little place for white Bord in USA rests

Sandy Wasserman CS ‏@SandyWasserman Q. @gormanmcadams Do you see much Mauzac grown in Bordeaux? I've never seen it in a blanc, but curious if anybody uses it. #sommchat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @SandyWasserman - have not so far - only with BWC since Feb - but seeing more Malbec that I expected. Will keep a closer eye out #SommChat

Kay Marley-Dilworth ‏@ATXFoodnews Tuning in late, but here & ready to learn! RT @keepercoll Today’s #SommChat features Master of #Wine Mary Gorman-McAdams @gormanmcadams @keepercoll #SommChat

DLynn Proctor ‏@WineauxDLynnP Q: @gormanmcadams What is your opinion on the use of the term 'geeky' in regards to wines from lesser known areas?

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @WineauxDLynnP @keepercoll to be honest mixed - can be a bit pretentious or sometimes it is the only word that works! #SommChat

KeeperCollection ‏@keepercoll @WineauxDLynnP great to see you here at #SommChat today - best!

Douglass Trapasso@demilove: @keepercoll One girl brought to our tasting group last night how would u describe pomerol? #SommChat

mary gorman-mcadams, ‏@gormanmcadams @keepercoll @demilove - hate generalizations -but P typically more full bodied + powerful than neighbor St. Em - bigger tannins #SommChat

Tricia Conover, CWP ‏@winegrapestone Mary, @gormanmcadam, I was at a Vins of Provence tasting yesterday. Chateau d”Esclans rose was 10 mo - Fr. Oak. Surprised? Trend? #sommchat

Tia Butts ‏@WineInkByTia @gormanmcadams What was the most difficult challenge on the path to becoming a MW? #sommchat

KeeperCollection ‏@keepercoll Q. @GormanMcAdams What advice can you give to others who are wanting to pass the #MW exam? #SommChat
