You're not the only one who's had enough.
Sommelier Consultants face unique challenges: Restaurant clients want a new by-the-glass list rebuilt every quarter but only pay for the tasting session, not the markup math and pairing notes that take days. Building a wine list for a venue means tracking distributor allocations and bottle costs that change with every vintage and exchange rate. Private cellar clients expect provenance, drink-windows and valuation logged for insurance, and it lives in scattered spreadsheets. Blind-tasting coaching students cancel last minute and a half-opened flight of eight bottles can't be resold. On top of all that, Acuity Scheduling charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Sommelier Consultant earns $42,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

The morning starts cool because that is when the cellar reads true. I walk a restaurant client's storage with a thermometer and a clipboard, pulling bottles that are oxidizing or filed under the wrong vintage. By ten I am at a counter spitting through a flight a distributor sent over, scoring each on a deductive grid: clarity, then the fruit spectrum, then structure, acid, tannin, alcohol, finish. Half get cut. I rebuild the by-the-glass list around food the kitchen actually sends out, and I have to make the margins work, so I am cross-checking bottle cost against the menu price the owner can stomach. Afternoon is a private client who inherited a cellar and wants to know what to drink now and what to hold; I log each bottle with its drink-window and a rough valuation his insurer will accept. Evening is a coaching student preparing for a certification exam. I pour six wines blind, cover the labels, and walk her through calling grape, region and vintage out loud. She gets two right and learns more from the four she misses. I cork what I can with the Coravin so tomorrow's flight does not start from scratch.
