Ask Joanna: Is It Rude to Ignore a Somm’s Suggestions After Asking for Them? You’re out to dinner and you’ve asked the sommelier for a wine recommendation and… you don’t like what they chose. What now? You could give them a little bit of feedback as to why you don’t like their selection and let them make another suggestion. Or you could just politely let them know that you’re actually going to go with a different wine and thank them for their advice. If you’re the type of person who often asks for recommendations from the restaurant staff when you’re out to dinner, be it the bartender, the server, or the sommelier, only to pick something else (I’ve definitely done this myself), I wouldn’t worry too much — I’m sure this happens all the time and no one takes it personally, however annoying it might be. But instead of asking what they think you should order, giving some parameters or even a choice of a few options might help avoid this somewhat awkward situation in the future. So if you want a wine in a certain price range, from a specific region, or that evokes this other wine that you know you like, giving any and all specifications will help your friendly somm make a recommendation that’s closer to what it is you’re looking for.

It is one of the most popular drinks in Spanish gastronomy. It is currently considered the most consumed drink internationally due to its great acceptance in the Western and Latin American markets. Although it is not considered a cocktail, it meets all the requirements to be one, as it is a mixture of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. However, the IBA does not recognize it as a cocktail due to its difference from a common cocktail, it was not created by a bartender and it does not have a specific recipe, but rather it was born in Spanish homes and there are many variants. For example, in Asturias cider is usually used instead of red wine. There are also versions with white wine called “white sangria” and even with sparkling wines such as cava or champagne.

“You are a #Sommelier , easy enjoyable duties.” - What a delusional idea about Sommeliers!. 🤷🏻 In this post I will mention one of many important duties other than just tasting and serving wine a Sommelier must maintain: 💰Managing #Money💰 Everyone knows that wine is a fancy beverage that can be very expensive. From this point, I would say that a Sommelier has a very important duty of taking care of this product by maintaining and managing a successful inventory of wine stocks. - This requires: 1️⃣ weekly inventory and reports. 2️⃣ daily spot check on wines by glass. 3️⃣ availability from the supplier. 4️⃣ collaboration with the wine team. 5️⃣ a structured plan for a precise count. The previous steps are very general and can be organized differently according to everyone’s own perspective. However, most importantly is to be very precise. #winelovers 🍷 how do you maintain your inventory? Share your ideas and thoughts 🍷❤️.
