What better way to un-wine-d, but with a visit to @highstreetwine? https://t.co/42QPWs4n1C

@keepercoll @highstreetwine To open, expect 80-100 hr weeks, then slowly bring it back to 60 hrs/week #Sommchat #realsommlife

@keepercoll @TEXSOM Not so much a secret. Hard work + Humility + Preparation + Great Teachers + Luck = Success in Wine #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@keepercoll @MasterSommUS @highstreetwine Once High Street is off and running, I'll be able to take a step back & continue studies #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@keepercoll @MasterSommUS @highstreetwine I do plan to continue studies. However, High Street & our staff come before me and MS... #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@keepercoll @highstreetwine We have selections @AntonellisCHZ, @GreatGaucho & @GourmetJOSE. Complex flavors & simple presentations #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@mirandawaldronc @highstreetwine Come ready to have a great time and leave any pretentiousness at home ;) #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@SandyWasserman Beers? Funkwerks @Funkwerks, JW Lees, Jolly Pumpkin @jollypumpkin, & Blue Owl @BlueOwlBrewing #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@keepercoll @highstreetwine The environment is geared towards approachability. Think of us as a beer garden, but with great wines #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@drewbie_g Yeah! Our study group started with 8 somms, but has grown to 14 in 4 months. Keep it growing! #SATXSomms #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@keepercoll @highstreetwine Great question. No marketing at 1st. Why bring everyone in early when you're still figuring it out? #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@keepercoll @highstreetwine I like our simple pairings: Champagne & baby clams, mussels & rosé, cheese & chenin blanc #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@ccollinsms Always been a fan of Duchman. But recently enjoying William Chris and Lewis #TxWine #Sommchat

[Scott Ota @scottota]

@SandyWasserman I've actually been geeking out more with beer recently, but for wine: Loire, Languedoc, Sicily & Santa Barbara, CA #Sommchat
