@WineRackCo (WineRacks.com): @KeeperColl Some great information in #SommChat today!

@SAHMmelier (SAHMmelier): What region will you be exploring in 2013? #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): @SAHMmelier – There is still so much of #Italy I want to see. I am hoping to make it to #VinItaly this year – Friuli, Veneto… #SommChat

@WineRackCo (WineRacks.com): @SAHMmelier Hope some of you will explore more of the wines that NY has to offer. If you haven’t already. #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @cbaggetta U R #Wine Director for @Quincesf & @Cotognasf Restos- how do U stay on top of each #restaurant? #WW #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): A. @KeeperColl Have an amazing team of 2 assistants (R in fact all female #wine team!) But it is a balancing act! #SommChat #WW #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): A. @KeeperColl – Just when I feel that I have 1 restaurant covered, there is something that needs attention at the other! #SommChat #SommChat

@SAHMmelier (SAHMmelier): #Texas is doing some great things with Med. varieties. Sang, Dolc, Mourv, Mont. Have you tried any? #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): SAHMmelier – Honestly I have not had many opportunities to try #Texan #wine. I’d be very curious though – hearing good things! #SommChat

@adriennebyard (Adrienne Byard): @Cbaggetta But do you think a bar program is best in the hands of a dedicated bar(wo)man, or that #Somm’s have it covered? #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): @adriennebyard – Depends on the size of the program. If it is a large bev. program, best to have specialists in diff. areas. #SommChat

@SAHMmelier (SAHMmelier): Have to return to my #SAHM role…thanks for chatting! Will catch up when I get a chance. Cheers! #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): @SAHMmelier -Thanks for chatting! Great talking with you! #SommChat

@knowvino (Cari Corsi): @Cbaggetta how many #wines a week do you taste with purveyors? #SommChat @KeeperColl

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): .@knowvino – Depends on the week, but usually at least a dozen or so. #SommChat

@WineRackCo (WineRacks.com): @Cbaggetta @SAHMmelier I’d second that about needing to try some #Texan #wine. #SommChat

@KlausGnome (Klaus-Soused Gnome): I may be from #Germany, but I’m quite partial to #wines from @shinnvineyard so is my alter-ego @WarrenBobrow1 #SommChat

@snottysomm (Laura DePasquale): @Cbaggetta: @KeeperColl- (@lauramaniec) and Laura DePasquale (@snottysomm) were big influences on me early on! #SommChat #WW All u Chica!

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): A. @KeeperColl The challenging part is the administrative work, managing inventory and maintaining my cost of goods. #SommChat #WW #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): A. @KeeperColl Math has never been a love of mine, so the numbers aspect of my job can definitely be a challenge. #SommChat #WW #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): last minute questions for @Cbaggetta – only a few minutes left #SommChat

@JeremySeysses (Jeremy Seysses): Flattered @Cbaggetta! @KeeperColl I concur. Having Dujac everyday can wear thin… #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): gr8 minds thinking alike:) but wouldn’t hurt to try having Dujac many days in a row RT @JeremySeysses: Flattered @Cbaggetta! #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): .@JeremySeysses – perhaps thin on the wallet, but never on the palate! I remain a big fan! #SommChat

@BizarroMatthew (Bizarro): @KeeperColl @cbaggetta any advice for young/aspiring #Somms? #SommChat

@Cbaggetta (Chris Baggetta): .@BizarroMatthew – Look for an active #wine community. The best way to hone UR skills is to work w/ others you respect #SommChat
