Amy Dixon, a visually impaired sommelier and triathlete, tests wines at Nicholas Roberts Fine Wines in Darien, Connecticut, Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013. When a sommelier smells a wine, she’s looking for flaws, said Dixon. “You’re looking for what makes the wine tick,” she said. Dixon is training for several championship competitions next year, including the USA Paratriathlon National Championship and the PATCO Triathlon Pan American Championships.

This bottle is Adelsheim Willamette Valley Pinot Gris 2012.
