In an October 2020 New York Times article, Julia Moskin shared accounts of sexual harassment and assault of 21 women at the Court of Master Sommeliers Americas.  She wrote a follow up article, where the Chairman of the Court, Devon Broglie, stepped down amidst sexual misconduct allegations of his own.  Many sommeliers, wine professionals, and some Master Sommeliers were vocal about their outrage and much-needed changes.  Alpana Singh is one of them.  At 26, she became the youngest female and only South Asian to pass the rigorous Master Sommelier test.  Her impressive resume doesn’t end there.  She is the host of the Emmy-award winning TV Show “Check Please” on Chicago’s PBS station and the owner of 3 restaurants. Today, Alpana and I talk about her rocky 20+ year history with the Court, what changes are needed, why she gave up her Master Sommelier title, advice she has for younger wine professionals, and how this experience influenced her professionally and personally.Instagram: @alpanasinghWebsite: www.alpanasingh.com
