Hi, I’m Chris a/k/a SteelSomm
So many memorable moments of my life have involved wine. Using the language of wine, let’s share our stories and see where this tale takes us.
Every bottle of wine tells a story.
The vintner’s story. The winemaker’s story. The retailer’s story. The consumer’s story. Your story.
My wine story recently opened a completely new chapter. In 2018 I became a Certified Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers.
Sure, there are a lot of CS’s out there. But my path to Certification was not normal. See, I’m a steel executive by trade. It’s just that I’m extremely passionate about wine, food and the process of continuous education about all things wine! During my Certification studies and testing, I met many industry professionals and learned that maybe, just maybe, my unique path was worth sharing.

“Drinking good wine with good food in good company is one of life’s most civilized pleasures.”
A wine blog that’s more than wine reviews.
My goal here on SteelSomm is to tell the stories about wines, beyond mere wine reviews. Let’s put wine in their context — moments of happiness, celebration, or even sadness. After all, wine is a sensory experience and is utterly shaped by context.
