Worlds Best Sommelier Competition Day Three Update - Santiago, Chile


Day 3 Wine Guide update from the World's Best Sommelier Competition here in Santiago Chile. It was a fairly relaxed day thanks to a great visit to Concha Y Toro. Then it was time to get ready for the Moet & Chandon dinner where the 12 semi-finalists were announced ... eventually.

This update is a bit of a long one but hang in there as we speak to many of the other candidates competing here in Santiago. But in the end, there can be only one!

A MASSIVE congratulations goes to Franck for making it to the Semi Finals. Brilliant effort. Question is, will he go all the way ... We hope so!!!

Mori Satoru, Japan (Best Sommelier Asia-Oceanic)
Merete Bo, Norway
Iulia Gosea, Romania
