About The SOMM Journal

Meridith May, publisher/executive editor of The Tasting Panel, acquired the former Sommelier Journal in January 2014 after devotees of Sommelier Journal had been saddened to read that the publication would be suspending operations as of October 25, 2013. She rebranded it as The SOMM Journal, launching as a bimonthly with the inaugural June/July issue.

The SOMM Journal’s current editorial board comprises internationally renowned wine writers, sommeliers, and experts. The publication has aligned with top wine associations, institutions, and educators throughout the U.S. and abroad and has broadened its scope to include more coverage of artisan spirits, coffee, tea, and food trends. The SOMM Journal is a true hospitality industry publication with an academic angle and close working relationship with educational organizations.

In its informative yet entertaining format, the magazine speaks to future working chefs, restaurateurs, retailers, mixologists, and wine professionals as much as it does to those already in the industry.
