In my days as a restaurant manager, it was pretty much a requirement of the job. Tasting new drinks, sampling new wines, educating staff and customers, and so on. In Baltimore I did a lot of wine tasting with Robert Parker (The Wine Advocate). Good times. Now I'm a college prof, and the high I get from teaching far surpasses any of that.
