Charlemagne, your Water Sommelier for
the DMV
About Charlemagne
I am a Gen X Navy Veteran. My passion for water started with a realization while watching 'Flash Gordon: A Modern Space Opera' on the Sci-Fi channel in 2007. The disparity between those who had clean water and those who struggled for it was striking. I started to take water much more seriously. This led me to become a Water Sommelier. I'm dedicated to educating people about the importance of water and its impact on wellness. I also try to make water fun and interesting to people who may not have given water a second thought.
Why Water?
Choosing the path of a water sommelier opens up a journey into one of the most exciting and emerging professions in the beverage world. Unlike the traditional roles associated with tea, beer, or wine, becoming a water sommelier invites you into an exploration of the most essential and life-sustaining drink on our planet: water.
​
Water is not just fundamental to our survival; it's a beverage with a depth of complexity and variety that rivals the finest wines. As the world shifts towards more sustainable and health-conscious choices, moving away from sugary sodas and alcoholic drinks, the expertise of a water sommelier becomes invaluable. Dive into the fascinating aspects of water's quality, source, and taste, echoing the wine enthusiasts' passion for terroir.
​
As a water sommelier, I guide others to appreciate the subtle nuances that different waters bring to the table, enhancing wellness and complementing flavors in ways previously unimagined.
