The role of sommeliers goes much further than helping you choose a bottle, though. It falls on a sommelier to work closely with winemakers and suppliers to craft a wine list that intrigues and entices guests and tells a story with every cork popped and glass poured.
Befriending the sommelier is key to elevating the restaurant experience, whether you're an oenophile looking for something off the beaten path or a novice in need of guidance for wine pairing.
There is a stigma in the fine dining circuit that wine must be serious and enjoyed by serious people only, but a new breed of restaurants, drinkers, and sommeliers are breaking this stereotype.
