Hello -
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!!

Rebecca:
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…

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/
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.
