The Sommelier’s Theory of Happiness

Have you ever wondered why certain experiences leave a lasting impression, while others burn brightly for a moment and then fizzle out?

Throughout my 33 years of experience in the hospitality industry—serving thousands, if not millions, of customers—I have been working to prove a philosophy. It is a theory deeply rooted in my training as a sommelier and my understanding of sensory knowledge, and it directly correlates to how we can live a more fulfilling, happy life.

Here is my theory about it and the link of the post on my personal Blog.
