​What Is a Sommelier?
A sommelier is a trained wine and beverage professional who specializes in all aspects of wine service, from tasting notes to food and wine pairing. A sommelier’s depth of knowledge is more than that of a wine server, waiter or other food service professional. If you're thinking about a wine tasting trip to South Lake Tahoe or you want a special experience trying hand selected wines at your own table, it's worth working with a sommelier.
What a Sommelier Does
At fine restaurants, a sommelier is usually the one who is responsible for all of the wine-related decisions. They develop wine lists and order wines based on the season of the year or the items on the menu. They work closely with the head chef in order to create wine and food pairings. In Tahoe City and the wine country of the Tahoe area, the sommelier may also train the wine servers and wait staff about how to deliver wine to customers.
Reasons to Choose a Sommelier
When you want the best possible marriage of excellent food and fine wine, choose a sommelier. If you're new to California wine, sommelier and chef Benjamin Hoffman can educate you about the unique attributes of each option. The sommelier can consider your taste preferences and make recommendations so that you get the most out of both your food and also the wine you pair with it. Plus, our wine pickup and delivery option makes it convenient to have the best wines on your table.
