Celebrating Doctors Day with a Toast

Master Sommelier Virginia Philip, only the 11th woman in the world to earn this prestigious accreditation, led a virtual wine tasting hosted by Palm Beach County Medical Society on May 30th. The Doctor’s Day Virtual Wine Tasting was held to toast doctors for their extraordinary service to the Society and their patients.

THE EVENT WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THESE SPONSORS:

Receiving the Master Sommelier certification in 2002, Philip remains only one of 26 women in the world who have earned this international proficiency. She holds an honorary doctorate in oenology from her alma mater Johnson & Wales and received the title of “Best Sommelier of the U.S.” from the American Sommelier Association five years in a row, 2002-2006.

“What an honor it was to enjoy a wine tasting led by a world renowned Sommelier and celebrate with so many of my esteemed colleagues,” said PBCMS President Roger Duncan, MD, who was among 40 members, friends and doctors attending the event.
