Open to All Aspiring Master Sommeliers, Canlis Builds Community Outside the Restaurant Through Excellence in the Wine World

SEATTLE--(www.GrapeVineTrail.com)--Who better than the Canlis family and the wine team at Canlis restaurant to initiate an awards program that helps promising sommeliers ascend to Master status?

The Traveling Vineyard operates in half of the states in the US. We are revolutionizing the wine tasting experience because we are turning living rooms into tasting rooms. Do not get me wrong- NOTHING beats a wine tasting at a vineyard, but there are many reasons why we can't always find a way to get to a vineyard. For instance, If you live in Allentown, PA. and want to try all italian wines and you can't get 10 friends to Tuscany, Italy or even Santa Barbara...try 5 of TTV's italian wines or California wines in your living room! See?
