Choosing the Best Sommelier In America
Filed under: Wine
What do you have to do to win the title of Best Sommelier in America? Lettie Teague reports on the Best Sommelier in America Competition which took place at Jumeirah's Essex House in New York City. Michael Engelmann of Gary Danko in San Francisco has been anointed top sommelier by the American Sommelier Association. How does one win such a title? Teague reports that the tasks included proofreading a wine list with errors on it, a four wine/four spirit blind tasting in which wines could be tasted and spirits only nosed, wine pairings, wine opening and decanting. Congratulations to Engelmann.
