Cheating at Master Sommelier exams

The 23 newly minted Master Sommeliers of 2018 have to retake the tasting exams, the Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS) announced in a letter to Master Sommeliers in early October. The reason is suspected cheating.

According to the chairman Devon Broglie, the board had learned that a Master Sommelier had leaked confidential information about the tasting exam. The Master Sommelier in question has not been named.
