I would like firstly like to say that I have enjoyed reading your blog over the past couple of months, and I think that your content is great. I am working on a wine related project, and I would love to send you some information on it, but I could not find an email address. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and keep up the great work!!

I am a wine broker, and am having a devil of a time with my sinuses/taste abilities. It’s been going on for over a year, and while I have seen an ENT (2 actually, over a 2 year period) neither was experienced in the wine business. I am wondering if there is actually an “otolaryngologist to the sommeliers” here in the LA area. it’s not something that comes up on the Cedars-Sinai site, for example.
Odd request, perhaps, but as I am taking my first level somm in May (to aid me in my work, not necessarily to become a somm) it would be great if I could actually distinguish the wine in the tasting portion!
Thanks for any advice or referrals, someone must know of a great ENT out there who is not prescribing steriods…

Good luck with the test! Another thing to try is a netti pot, you can get them at health food stores and they help clear out your nasal passages with saline.
We met at the NSAI event. I’m the guy with the Fishing Songs…do you have an address that I can send the CD? I believe I recall your husband was a big bass fishing fan…he will nejoy it!
Hey Tom! Great to hear from you, actually you gave me the CD at the conference, excited to blog about the NSAI Spring Training conference soon. I really liked song #4 (can’t remember offhand the name) and although my husband is not exactly a fishing fan I am sure he will enjoy it too. Cheers! Stay in touch.

Nina,
Sorry to say that I don’t have much experience with that, but I know some of my friends actually do.
Try to reach out for a friend of mine who was in my tasting group, Angela http://www.spotteddoggraphics.com/
