A Kelowna resident is ‘grape’ at tasting wine.
Maxwell Brayer was crowned Canada’s Top Young Sommelier at a competition on the first weekend of March, winning the opportunity to take his prestigious pallet across the pond.
In October, Brayer will represent Canada at the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs International Young Sommelier Competition in Lisbon, Portugal.
On his all-expenses paid trip to Portugal, Brayer will tour wineries to further his education before swirling his glass in hopes of becoming a top oenophile.
