Reaching Level 2 Sommelier
“Champagne for everyone!”, Brett Zimmerman, Master Sommelier proudly announced. And with that, there were 44 newly credentialed Level One Sommeliers. I am proud to say that I was one of those new L1 Somms. For some in the group, it was their final destination. For others, me included, the journey continues.
How much can you possible learn about a specific wine, winery or wine region, you ask. A lot. Probably more than you would have ever thought possible. Think of playing “Trivial Pursuit’, but instead of the normal subjects, you are questioned on wine, beer, spirits, sake and champagne.
A couple of months ago, I made the decision to pursue my Sommelier certification. For those of you who are wondering what the heck a Sommelier is, a Sommelier is a wine specialist, typically working at a high end restaurant. The Sommelier, with an in-depth knowledge of the restaurant’s menu and preparation style assists the guest by recommending a wine or wines for the evening. The Sommelier also handles the opening, decanting and pouring of the wine for the party. While I don’t own a restaurant or serve wine at a restaurant, I felt that by studying wine in the detail necessary to become a sommelier, I would be able to provide my customers with better wine-food pairing recommendations, including alternate wines that I might not have thought of before. With this in mind, I set out to become a “Sommelier”.
I am enrolled in the program offered by The Court of Masters Sommeliers, which has four levels of Sommelier status: The first level is the “Introductory Sommelier” status. To earn this status you are required to pass a Wine Theory exam consisting of 70 questions about wine types and the various regions they come from. Beer, spirits and sake are also included on the test, but fortunately for me, there was only a question or two about those drinks. To prepare for the test, a candidate must attend a two day, fast paced class. I began studying months in advance. I had read online that there is no way you can pass the class if you rely solely on the two day class prep class. I found that to be great advice as the course instructor went through the material at break neck speed. I had prepared a detailed four page spreadsheet with all of the world’s major wine regions, including major sub-regions, primary red and white wines, production methods, soil types, weather and anything that was unique to the region. I took this spreadsheet with me and when the instructor emphasized a specific item, I highlighted it, or if the information wasn’t already on my spreadsheet, I made sure to include it. After the first day of class, Maryann and I grabbed a quick dinner and I studied some more. There was no way I was going to fail the test after driving to Vancouver BC for the course and test. Failure was not an option.
Day Two started fast with a “blind tasting” of four wines, two white and two red. We have no idea what wines are in front of us when we start the tasting. In the process, we assess it visually, check out its aromas and then taste the wine. From the information we gather, we start the identification process leading to a final conclusion, in which we identify the grape, vintage, country and if sub-region. The final conclusion for one tasting was “this wine is a Pinot Noir, 2010 vintage, from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. I am proud to say that I nailed that one! Over the two days, we conducted 22 blind tastings. Although the Level 1 certification doesn’t include a blind tasting exam, the instructors were preparing us for the Level 2 testing, which does.
The Master Sommeliers also demonstrated how a professional wine and Champagne service should be conducted. That too is tested in Level Two. When the service demonstration concluded, it was time for the exam. The 70 question multiple choice exam is designed to test a breadth, not a depth, of knowledge at this level. I was surprised that there were as many questions about Austrian wines as there were about Oregon, Washington and California, together. Yes, the Oregon question was about Pinot Noir. But the Washington question was about weather and the California question was about a river in wine country. Breadth, not depth. As I worked through the test, I knew it was going to be close. Why were there so many questions about Austria? There were some surprise questions about France and South Africa. After turning in my exam and leaving the room, Maryann was waiting in the hallway. “How’d it go?” she asked. I told her that I thought I passed, but that the test was tough.
When the instructors were finished grading the exam, we each received a glass of Champagne as we walked into the class room. When Brett proudly announced that everyone had passed the written exam, the entire class let out a loud cheer and toasted the success. One by one, each of our names was announced and we received out certificate and pin. It was official; I am a Level One Sommelier.
But, I’ve made the decision to purse the Level Two “Certified Sommelier” status. I’ll let you know how that goes!
UPDATE-My spreadsheet won’t help you as the course materials and examination has changed since I took the class several years ago. I recommend you create your own study guide using the course book and practice exams you find online. There are no shortcuts to passing the exam. Read the materials and study. Good luck, you can do it. S
Great info! I just starting researching the process with the same certification you received. Like you, I will plan a trip with spouse in tow to make the journey business and pleasure. Would you recommend pre-purchasing the book you received at the end of Level 1? Thank you for your assistance.
Cynthia-Yes, buy the book and take as many practice exams you can find online. Those will help you narrow down on the items to study most. I’d be happy to send you the excel spreadsheet I created as a study guide. Send me an email if you’d like it. Good luck, you can do it! steven
You seem to have taken a really smart approach to learning. Congratulations on your level one, how exciting! I would love to see your spreadsheet also. I am just in the beginning stages of my path toward my sommelier and csw certifications
hi Steven, Can you please send a copy of your spreadsheet to michaelbrown1@gmail.com ?
Thank you!
Hi Steven I have just signed up for my level one examination in 4 months, March 2017. I would really appreciate it if you could send me your spreadsheet as well. My email is evesputnik@gmail.com.
Thanks and I wish you much success with your level 2 studies!
Best,
Eve
Steven, just the info I was looking for. I’ve been dabbling in oenology for longer than I’d like to admit, but am a very unlikely potential somm. I would though like to challenge myself for L1 at least. I can’t seem to find access to the specific materials you suggest (other than the readily available Wine Bible, etc which are in my library. What, specific to the test prep do you recommend and *Of course* I’d value your spreadsheet 😊🍇
I am gearing up to take my level one certification in a couple . If you could send me the spreadsheet also, that would be awesome. i am very excited to join my coworkers that have took the leap and joined the CSE club.
Thanks in advance
Hello Steven congratulations I know it’s a bit late or too late hehe, I would like to ask if I can also have a copy of the spreadsheet? Thanks in advance my email is
dionyabanes@yahoo.com
I will be taking the lv1 sommelier soon thanks!
I’d love to check out your spreadsheet as I’m very interested too. Please send to jranelli@gmail.com. Thank you!
Steven, I am pursuing this as well. I am in the early stages but if you could email me the spreadsheet you made that would be a great learning tool. Thanks.
Hey Steven,
Thanks for the great article. I am also studying for Level 1 and have covered a ton of material. I would love to see your excel spreadsheet to see if I have it all summarized the right way. Also did you ever do any flashcard apps like ANKI ? I was working on building that.
Kevin-I didn’t use flashcards, but many in my class did. Good luck.
This really helped a lot. I am taking the level 1 exam in a week. I know many people have told be it is a very brief intro exam. But I am worried if the exam had any questions on the specific AOC of each wine sub-region. I have made an outline of the country, region and sub region. What soils the region has, climate, and grape varietal its know for. I just dont know if it is enough to pass the test. I am also traveling 7 hours to take the test from GA to Fl, so the pressure of passing the test is very similar. Lol.
Amber-Good luck with the exam. It is not a brief intro. Be prepared.
Hi. First of all congratulations. I’m starting to learn about wine right now and I would like to some day take the exames as well do you have any recommendations on booka to search?
“World of Wines” will do the job for Level 1. Good luck.
Greetings Steven!
First off, congratulations on your success at passing the intro exam! What an exciting journey this is! I too, am embarking on this path and found your story while searching for info/advice online. I’ve ordered the 2 recommended books from the resource list on the CMS website to get a head start, but I’d love to see your spreadsheet as well if possible. Thanks for your time, and good luck in your future with wine 🙂
Warm regards,
Allyson
Hi. Thanks for this post. I am thinking about pursuing but scared I don’t have the time
Managing raising three kids too. Please also send me your spreadsheet!!
Excellent job on passing! I am taking it as well in Park City, UT on December 11/12, and was wondering if you could email me your excel sheet also? I have quite a few notes, but I like to compare how others study to see if there is something I can grasp easier than I’ve thunk to.
Hi Steven! I am interested in taking the level one Sommelier course and came across your blog when searching for study guides. If you could, I would love to receive your excel spreadsheet. I would like to start studying before I commit to taking the test.
Cheers!
Emily
Great story…You have motivated me to look further into studying Level1. please send me your spreadsheet…
I am taking the class Monday and Tuesday. My husband is also taking the test, He has a great deal of wine knowledge and told me that studying was overkill. Frankly, I did not focus until now. Boy am I scared. Can you email me the miracle spreadsheet? HELP!!
Congratulations! I recently decided I should at least do the first level in the Court of Master Sommeliers since everyone assumes I’ve already done it (I did WSET Levels 2 & 3, but fewer people know what WSET is)! Any advice on how long you studied before the test? I would love to see your spreadsheet if you are still sharing it. Thanks!
Congrats on passing your Level 1. Can you send me your spreadsheet if you still have it? foreman.ka@gmail.com
Keith-Thanks! I passed WSET 2 in Spring and am now studying for WSET 3. I’ll send you my spreadsheet, but I also recommend you study as many practice exams as you can. Good luck!

Hi Steven, it would be great if I can receive your spreadsheet too. I am Italian, moved recently to California and willing to take the Introductory Level test in Beverly Hills in February. Also what are the best websites to take practice exams online?
Thanks!
great info Steven, we all appreciated very much, is it possible to get your spreadsheet? sounds very helpful, thanks in advance!
Hi Steven!
I love your site. Congrats on the certification. I am interested in learning about wine as well, where do you recommend beginning? I see you recommended “world of wines”, who is the author? Any other tips/online courses/resources you recommend?
I would also love your spreadsheet.
Cheers.
Thanks Ashley-Good luck on the exam. I recommend you…1-register for the class early, 2-read the materials and take notes or make flash cards, 3-take as many practice exams as you can find online. You’ll do great.
Congratulations, Steven!
Like most of your responders, I too will be taking the level 1 course. At age 64, I believe it’s never too late to get started! So, here’s where I play the age card…….can you help an old guy out with your spreadsheet? I’m fairly intimidated, and can use all the help I can get!
Best wishes in your career,
Art Amaral

Good luck on your Level 1 exam. Sign up early, read the book, take notes and take lots of practice exams. You got this.
Very useful piece, thank you. Could you please forward your spreadsheet to me too?
Thank you.
Steven , congratulations!! …. It sounds very exciting, I would love to pass the exam as easy as you did, if you don’t mind sending the spreadsheet as well…… Greatly appreciate it… Good luck in achieving level 2. My email: njcatalano@aol.com

Hey Steven,
Great info, thank you for sharing. I am in preparation for my Level 1 presently. I would love to see your spreadsheet as well. Feel free to email me at osugrad12@hotmail.com . I really appreciate it and best of luck on your level two!
Bradley
Bradley-Good luck on your Level 1. Make sure to take as many practice exams as you can find online. Those give you an indication of what topics are being tested. Make a study guide that works for you based on the sample exams. You’ll do great.
Congratulations Steven that is an amazing accomplishment! I am very interested and motivated in becoming a sommelier. Do you recommend this certification as the first step to achieving that goal or are their other routes to take? Or what direction would you recommend? I would love to hear your advice if you could email me it would mean a lot.
Thanks!!
Ian- iwenzel@theoaksclub.com
I don’t know what your wine background is, but if you don’t have wine industry experience, then I absolutely recommend you take level 1. That way, you can begin your studies at the basic level and learn to taste/analyze wine using the approved methods. I do recommend you sign up for the class/exam as far in advance as you can, so you have plenty of time to learn the materials. Good luck. You can do it.
Steven, Do you have reccommendations on online help and practice tests? I got World of Wines for Christmas to help with my preparation; however, I’m lost as to where else to go for best preparation!
Thank you for your blog AND help!
Amanda
That’s a great book. I recommend you sign up for the class/exam asap so you get the study materials, which will include a practice exam. Also, do a google search for a sample exam or sample questions for your class/level and then print them out, take them open book, so you can see what’s being tested. Make sure to study those items! Good luck.
Thank you so much!!! Best of luck on the rest of your somm journey!
Regards,
Amanda
Steven,
Great post! I’m looking to take the entry level exam in the next few months. I’m taking your advice and purchasing the World of Wines book, and trying to prepare as best I can. Can you please send your spread sheet, and do you have a recommendation for the practice exams?
Thank you!
Gil
gprado333@gmail.com
Gil-If you haven’t registered for the class/exam, do so as soon as you can. Once you have the materials, begin taking your own notes or make flashcards. Look for sample exams online and download them. Use those exams to help guide your studies. There’s a lot of info, but it’s manageable if you start early. You can do it.
May I have a copy of the spreadsheet as well if you are still offering? Thanks
This was my very first Google step for my fantasy, becoming a certified sommelier…. And I stumbled upon your post here! This was incredibly informative and encouraging! I would like to try the level one soon! Steve, would you please share your spreadsheets that you created to prep your course and exam? I am a Japanese living in Portland…10 yrs now! …. and I really love Oregon wine… I would love to learn more about Oregonian Wines, and share the knowledge (or you may call it “take them around and show off how great to be an Oregonian!”) to those, my friends in Japan who love wine!
Thank you very much, Steve san!
Lisa
Dear Steven…I am the very beginning of my journey and your input was thorough and to the point. Very helpful for those of us who come a bit overwhelmed when considering the magnitude of it all. May I please also have a copy of your study guide? my email address is terrikaye@gmail.com
Thank you so much for your post. I am looking to increase my knowledge as much as possible and will be signing up for the level 1 exam so I can receive study material. May I request that you send me your study sheet and any additional advice? Thank you in advance!

Congrats on passing the exam! I appreciate you taking the time to post this. It was extremely helpful and somewhat puts my mind at ease. I am taking the level one exam in March. I have been studying but will continue to study up until the exam. I know you may be tired of hearing this request, but could you also send me the spreadsheet you’ve developed? My email is michaelforemanjd@gmail.com. That would be a huge help. Thanks again for this post and good luck on your future journey!
Hi Steven,

Hi Steven!
My name is Andrea and I am taking the examination this upcoming Tuesday in Miami. I came across your blog when searching for last minute advice, and really appreciate your guide. If you do not mind sharing, I would love to receive your excel spreadsheet for a condensed version of the extensive notes I have been taking! Cannot thank you enough for putting this together.
Best regards,

Hi Steven — thank you for sharing your experience with accomplishing your level 1; I foresee an equally logical approach in study habits for level 2. The emphasis on breadth not depth for the initial phase is helpful as well. I’ve been reading books from Oz Clarke, Zraly, and likeminded individuals for a while now, always scouring for more info on the interweb and in magazines and other publications. The passion is deep and will only grow–my family has been in hospitality my entire life and fine dining is my current and foreseeable near future. I’d thoroughly enjoy a chance to add your spreadsheet to my studies and to add to it myself. Would you send my way? Thank you kindly. -Jennifer

Hi Steven,
Seems like you have garnered quite a following for the excel spreadsheet. Would it be possible to get a copy of that for a study aide? Thank you for any consideration.
Tyler Rowland
Hi Steven!
Just signed up for the Level 1 test! I’ve started taking practice exams but would love if you were able to send the excel spreadsheet.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Steven,
I really appreciate the basic overview you provide in terms of what to can expect for the Introductory Course. Seeing that I am not the first to ask, would it be possible to receive a copy of the Excel spreadsheet you created? I will be taking the introductory Course at the end of June in Las Vegas. While I have massive amounts of information from numerous sources, an aide such as this would be more than helpful in my studies. Thank you for any information you can provide.
Best of luck to you for the Certified Exam.

Hi Steven. Thanks for the insight. I am taking the test this July and am a bit nervous. I have worked in Food and Beverage for some time now in addition to have taken a wine appreciation class structured off of Kevin Zraly’s book. I also printed out the CMS workbook as soon as I registered. May I jump on the band wagon here and ask you for a copy of your spreadsheet to add to my list of resources? Not looking to cut corners just want to be prepared, failure is not an option. Thanks. My email is ecirnitski@gmail.com. Cheers!
Hi, Steven
I am taking the Level One Exam in 2 weeks. I have been studying for awhile but I feel like I am trying to know everything. While it will probably help down the road, I may be putting too much pressure on myself. PLEASE email me your excel spreadsheet. Would love to see what you had. As a visual learner, sometimes a book just isn’t enough. Crohde23@gmail.com
