Sally Mohr earned the title of Master Sommelier in 1995 and was the second woman in the United States to achieve that distinction. There are 140 professionals in North America and over 200 world-wide that have earned this distinguished title.
She began her wine career as an employee at The Boulder Wine Merchant in 1983 and became a co-owner of this prestigious specialty retail wine shop in 1986. In 2010, The Boulder Wine Merchant was sold allowing Sally to pursue other avenues in the beverage trade.
Sally’s fascination with the unique beverage of sake took her in a new direction. In 2009, Sally passed the Advanced Sake Professional course conducted by John Gauntner in Japan. And in 2018, she earned the distinction of Level 1&3 Sake Educator from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET). She is a board member of the Sake Education Council; whose mission is to spread the word of the joys of sake. Kanpai!
