The film ‘SOMM’ may have made Ian Cauble a household name, but his palate is making him a star

Ian Cauble, MS was featured in the original SOMM documentary as an intense and focused wine professional pursing the coveted Master Sommelier certification. In actuality, this Southern California former surfer is laid back and charming. He has been named “Best Young Sommelier in the World” and TOPSOMM. His thirst for knowledge – and successfully acquiring the Master Sommelier title – has led him to start one of the most unique online wine programs in America. SommSelect is a custom wine program that lets clients “Drink like a Somm.” Drink in this fast-paced interview with the oh-so-passionate Ian Cauble, MS.

Wines sampled in this episode:

Murgo, Método Classico Brut Rosé from Italy

2017 Bati?, Cabernet Franc from Slovenia
