The Path
Wine study starts with structure, and Randa Warren’s path runs through Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) in 1998, then the Diploma of Wine and Spirits (WSET) in 2001, and then Master Sommelier in 2007. Those dates trace a progression of training and certification, each one adding another layer of technical command and confirming a working relationship with wine grounded in study rather than performance. The work extends beyond one room or one role, but the throughline stays the same: wine knowledge carried into writing, public talk, and the practical demands of a professional career.
