Commonly question about My-Sommelier

Question :

Do you believe that the role of a sommelier is no longer required in modern culture?

As a sommelier myself, I find that some restaurateurs feel that the staff should all have sufficient knowledge of the food, drinks and tobaccos to service the customers requirements, whilst some feel that a sommelier is essential for the smooth running of the service and satisfaction of the clients. I currently work for a wine supplier, rather than on a restaurant floor, where I find my training is equally applicable. What do you consider to be the arguments for and against having sommeliers in restaurants.

Answer :
A sommelier is indispensable in any self-respecting establisment. Thinking that you can get by with serving staff that has been trained in a general but not in any specific fashion is as ridiculous as expecting a first- aider to perform heart surgery. It is not just the guiding of the clients once they have stated their preferences, it is also the advice to hotel or restaurant owners who may know very little about crus, years, etc..and not have the ability to pick good wines, fairly priced and likely to appeal to or please the palate of both experts and greenhorns.
Mind you, there are good and bad sommeliers. We have seen a wide assortment over the years and have had the pleasure of meeting winners of the "Meilleur sommelier de France" award. They had charming and self- effacing manners and really cared about the wine they served or recommended, and the satisfaction of their customers. Bottles deemed unsatisfactory where whisked off without argument or batting an eyelid. Let s face it , there are the odd bad bottles even in excellent wines.

We also have met some who were trying to get rid of mediocre bottles assuming that the customer will not know the difference, those who despised locally produced wines for grands crus, one particular female sommelier in the Dordogne who was arrogant, prejudiced and pushy, one male in Belgium who only served half of a very expensive bottle.Our best experience was at Chabran where we ordered a reasonably priced bottle of a relatively young wine and noticed that the businessmen on the next table had bought the same wine but considerably older and extremely expensive. They left half of the bottle, as it was lunch time and they clearly needed a clear head for the afternoon. We asked the sommelier if we could have a sip to see the difference. The wine was exquisite and seeing our faces, the kind man instead of whisking the bottle away and keeping it for himself, just gave us the rest of the bottle. He really made our day!
We do dislike the pompous sort that talk down to customers as if they were simple, even though their recommendation is good. We are not keen on those that pull a taster cup out of their pocket and sample the wine generously before serving it. We appreciate those who also have a real knowledge of the food being ordered so that they will guide you towards the best suited wine to go with it. A charming, knowledgeable, tactful and courteous sommelier makes all the difference.
