ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @demilove @keepercoll a lot of determination you can accomplish anything and most certainly the certified exam. Don't lose hope!.. #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @demilove @keepercoll Some people get very nervous in those situations, myself included, so it may not happen right away but it ...#sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @demilove @keepercoll doesn't mean you're not smart enough or it's not for you! Keep going and don't give up! It's the only way #SommChat

Douglas Trapasso ‏@demilove @keepercoll - Sending out resumes now, Alex - hoping to moonlight and get better at Service - that's my weakest link - #SommChat

Douglas Trapasso ‏@demilove @AlexLaPratt @keepercoll - Thank you! I respect that the standards are high; hope one day I will prove worthy of them - #SommChat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @fernandobeteta @plepeltier @keepercoll and one I don't hear enough about. I'm not just talking USA but community of the world..#sommchat

Marc Dröfke ‏@m_arcon @keepercoll @alexlapratt what do you think about the Natural wine movement? #SommChat #WineWednesday

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @m_arcon @keepercoll I think it's great! But it needs to be for the wine, not the publicity. Too many bad wines using that .... #SommChat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @m_arcon @keepercoll for marketing alone. There are a lot of great natural and bio wines out there but they don't shout it! #sommchat

KeeperCollection ‏@keepercoll Q. @AlexLaPratt How important is a "by the glass" list and why? #SommChat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @keepercoll A by the glass list is the most important part of many programs. It’s the criteria by which I judge a wine program... #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @keepercoll program is what most of your guests will experience. This is usually the by the glass list or in a tasting menu .. #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @keepercoll the wine pairing for the menu. These 2 things need to be of the highest integrity and value. Great wines... #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @wolfeswines @keepercoll I'm embracing new, less popular regions that represent value! There are a lot of them... #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @wolfeswines @keepercoll I'm actually fighting against what's hip and trendy because a lot of young sommeliers don't understand .. #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @wolfeswines @keepercoll the classics and therefore are unable to see where these hip wines fit into the world of wine and.. #sommchat

@wolfeswines @keepercoll therefore cannot relate it to a guest or the food. I'm also fighting against ego. #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @wolfeswines @keepercoll because no one cares how much you know if you can't make someone feel special or taken care of #sommchat

Jeffrey Wolfe ‏@wolfeswines @AlexLaPratt @keepercoll #SommChat Brillant...carrying the same flags #lifeinawineshoppe

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @SandyWasserman @keepercoll they had great ideas for the system and a great commraderie and the wines were great! .. #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @SandyWasserman @keepercoll it'd need to be somewhere that the financials would work because it's sooo expensive to start #sommchat

Sandy Wasserman CS ‏@SandyWasserman @AlexLaPratt @keepercoll Lots of good wine coming out of Rioja w/ newer & experienced producers #sommchat

Melanie ‏@vinogger What in your opinion is the most underrated & overlooked varietal? region and which is most overrated? @AlexLaPratt #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @vinogger @keepercoll Underated & Overlooked: possibly Chenin Blanc @plepeltier, overrated: ... #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @vinogger @keepercoll possibly melon de bourgogne. many people want to get too much ripeness from it and make it into.. #sommchat

ALEXLAPRATT‏@AlexLaPratt @vinogger @keepercoll something it isn't. it masks the minerality for me and obscures it's sense of place/use for me #sommchat

Rashmi Primlani ‏@PrimlaniKitchen Sometimes I am craving just a glass of bubbly or white while waiting for guests. I appreciate eclectic #wine lists #SommChat

Fernando Beteta, MS ‏@fernandobeteta .@AlexLaPratt If you could have a drink with any winemaker (dead or alive) , who would that be? #sommchat
