Greg Harrington swells ranks of Texas' master sommeliers - at least temporarily

The owner of Gramercy Cellars in Walla Walla, Wash., is hanging out for the next month in Driftwood at the Mandola Estate Winery, where he's helping winemaker Mark Penna with the harvest.

Harrington will stay through Aug. 17-18, the dates for this year's Texas Sommelier Conference. When the conference was held in Dallas, I found the seminars to be among the most instructive I've attended. Just learning to approach wine like a sommelier, even if you don't have their chops, helps you become a better taster.

The conference location gets moved around the state, and this year it's at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin. The Aug. 17 seminars are open to the public; you can see the topics here. They're priced individually or as a bundle for $100.
