The Sommeliers Australia National Executive Committee is thrilled to announce that 10 Scholarship Partners have stepped forward to support the 2019 Education Scholarship programme.
Major Partner Wine Australia is committed to working with Sommeliers Australia across a number of current and future major events. A select number of 2019 Scholars will be offered an opportunity to take part in 2020 SIP.
Programme Partners Australia’s First Families of Wine, Jackson Family Wines and St Hugo have generously contributed towards the entire Scholarship programme and are each aligned with two Scholars.
Scholar Supporters Australian Women in Wine, De Bortoli, Fesq & Company, Halliday Wine Companion, Riedel and Torbreck have each generously undertaken to sponsor one Scholar through the Scholarship programme.
The NEC would like to thank each of these organisations for their commitment to promoting the Education Scholarship, and the development of Australia’s sommelier community.
![For our first Best Sommelier of Australia Spotlight, we hear from Best Sommelier of Australia 2020 runner-up and Australia's representative at ASI Best Sommelier of the World 2023 in Paris, Paolo Saccone @vinobypaolo.
Here Paolo shares what inspired him about the competition journey...
"Entering the Best Sommelier of Australia competition was more than a challenge; it was a journey of self-discovery and passion.
Last year's [Best Sommelier of the World 2023] semi final and final were stepping stones in my quest for continuous excellence.
To all aspiring sommeliers: Embrace the uncertainty, savour the journey, and let your dedication uncork the limitless opportunities that await.
Cheers to chasing dreams and pouring greatness into every drop!"
Don't miss your chance to excel!
