A counterfeit credential sealed with gold, a leather portfolio left deliberately on a park trash bin, and a small Wisconsin town that never asked hard questions until a dinner conversation unraveled seven years of deception-what was Erin Dempsey really doing with a fake Master Sommelier certificate in Millhaven? How did a single line in a wine atlas expose a lie that lasted nearly a decade?
In this episode, you’ll hear how a found portfolio at Lake Carver led to the discovery of a falsified Court of Master Sommeliers certificate, the rise of a restaurant wine program credited for national praise, and the precise detail that began to fracture Erin Dempsey’s identity-could a corrected line in a later edition of a wine atlas be the smoking gun?
Person: Susan Thorpe
Date: July 14, 2011
Location: Lake Carver, Millhaven, Wisconsin
Event: Found leather portfolio with name Erin Dempsey, MS
Topic: Discrepancy in Hargrove Wine Atlas editions regarding a 1989 Pomerol hail event
- The portfolio was found at 6:30 AM on July 14, 2011 balanced open on the rim of a green metal trash barrel.
- The name inside read "Erin Dempsey, MS - Master Sommelier" and carried the gold seal of the Court of Master Sommeliers.
- Fewer than 300 people worldwide held the Master Sommelier credential at the time.
- Erin Dempsey was hired after a 90-minute interview in spring 2004 at age 54 and helped Carver House earn three stars by 2008.
- The Hargrove Wine Atlas third edition (1996) contained the hail date Erin cited; the fourth edition (2002) corrected that significant error.
