The Master of Wine (MW) credential is one of the most respected wine titles in the world. In the United States alone, there are less than 60 people who hold the title. Vanessa Conlin is one of them—and the Global Head of Wine Retail for Sotheby’s to boot. Here, Vanessa shares a glass with her good friend and fellow MW, Mary Margaret McCamic, while they discuss the difference between Master of Wine and ‘sommelier’ and how wine is truly a universal language.

A Drink With a Master of Wine is presented in partnership with Silversea as part of Sotheby’s new “A Drink With” series.
