BEING A SOMM IS ABOUT SERVICE, NOT STARDOM

 Brahm Callahan is used to being the most knowledgeable wine professional in the room. Thirty-two years old with a face that looks 10 years younger, Callahan is one of only 149 Master Sommeliers in the United States. That’s fewer American Master Sommeliers than American Nobel Prize laureates, fewer American Master Sommeliers than people who were struck by lightning in the past decade. More Americans have been to space than are Master Sommeliers.
