Great effort obviously and I found it inspiring. Just one small tip : sommelier - wine tasting expert, oenologist - wine making expert. TJ

An oenologist is what you said, not an oenophile. Oenology is defined, also by Webster's, as a science that deals with wine and wine making... it's not about tasting wine, as you suggested in the limerick.

WRONG! A Sommelier is simply someone who sniffs wet corks and subsequently gives himself airs, or as Webster defines it, "a wine steward . . .who supervises the ordering, storing, and serving of wine." Webster's defines Oenophile as a lover of or expert on wine," but thank you for reading and commenting! Aloha!
