Interview With a Part time Sommelier


The Awl has great interview with a part time sommelier*. Whose wine philosophy is quite sharp (i.e. I mostly agree with her). But what I like most is knowing that i'm not the only on who gets questions like:

"My husband and I went to this little restaurant in Emilia-Romagna and it was so beautiful and we tried this wine that went so well with the meal. I think it had like a picture of the winery on the label and the label was in Italian. Do you have it?" I always ask whether the wine was red or white, and ofter they answer, "I don't remember. But it was so good!"

*This is getting ridiculous, spell check doesn't recognize sommelier.
