Reflecting on Our 100th Article on SOMM&SOMM.
When Tammy and I first embarked on our journey with SOMM&SOMM, we had no idea where it would lead. We were driven by a shared passion for wine, food, and the endless stories they tell. Today, as we publish our 100th article, it’s hard not to reflect on the path that has brought us here and the purpose that continues to guide us.
Writing these articles has been more than just a creative outlet or a way to share knowledge. Each piece we’ve crafted has mirrored the steps in our ongoing sommelier journey. Whether we’re deep into the nuances of a specific region, exploring the intricacies of a particular wine style, or uncovering the secrets behind an obscure varietal, these articles have served as a way to solidify what we’ve learned. They’ve become part of our study, our practice, and our way of ensuring that the ever-expanding world of wine stays anchored in our minds.
Wine is not just a drink; it’s a lifelong education.
Gregory Dean, SOMM&SOMM
The more we learn, the more we realize how much there is still to discover. Wine laws shift, new trends bring forgotten varietals back into the spotlight, and technology reshapes how wines are made and appreciated. The landscape is always changing, and that’s what makes it so fascinating. We continue this effort not just because there’s so much more to explore, but because the journey itself is the reward.

100th Article Published on SOMM&SOMM
The 100th article is a milestone, but it’s far from a conclusion. It’s a marker on a road that stretches far into the horizon, with more twists, turns, and discoveries waiting just beyond the next vineyard or in the depths of the next cellar.

We also want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our friends and family. Your enthusiasm, shared passion, and countless conversations over wine have enriched our lives and deepened our appreciation for this incredible world. Whether we’ve sipped and savored together at our home, in a cozy wine bar, or at one of our events, you’ve been an integral part of this journey. Your presence makes every glass more enjoyable, every discovery more meaningful, and every moment more cherished.
Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey. Whether you’ve read one article or all 100, your support and curiosity fuel our passion. Here’s to the next 100, and the countless glasses of wine we’ll share along the way.
Cheers,
Greg & Tammy, SOMM&SOMM
