If you have not figured it out by now, the Glami’s are all about good food, and good drink! We love a perfect glass of wine to compliment an evening meal, or just to wind down from a day of being fabulous.
With our wine passion comes our knowledge of all things wine related, so today we’re educating you on the role of a Sommelier.
Definition- a sommelier’s role is chiefly to procure the wines for a restaurant in addition to developing the wine lists. Today’s sommeliers are also very engaged with the restaurant patrons, and are well-versed in food/wine pairings, in addition to making recommendations on everything on the menu from beer, spirits, and in some establishments offering suggestions on what tobacco will compliment the meal.
Education- Although pretty much anyone can consider themselves to be a sommelier, there is training that goes along with the job. A basic training in all things wine can last up to 6 months, and comes with a certificate that was developed in conjunction with the Vintners Company, The Institute of Masters of Wine, The British Hotels & Restaurants Association, The Wine & Spirit Association of Great Britain and The Wholesale Tobacco Trade Association
