This is the second part of a series of Winning at Beverage Programs recorded during SommCon 2019.  In this edition, I got to sit down with Erik Segelbaum of SOMLYAY as he drops some incredible knowledge surrounding real life tactics that can be applied in daily operations.  We talk about the true job of the sommelier, what most people get wrong in wine training, how to organize a list, how to look at a p-mix, and most importantly how to increase revenue!

Grape Choice Wine Reviews Ep. 2

Guys welcome to the very first episode of Grape Choice Wine Reviews!! The idea behind these segments will be to review every day drinking wines, mostly $15 and under, that you can buy at your local grocery store and get to know. I think with more conversations like these we'll be able to make better decisions on what type of wine we're looking for and have a bit more fun enjoying it without any stress!   These wines were purchased at Vons in Pacific Beach, San Diego, on Garnett Ave.   :58 -- Famille Perrin Cotes du Rhone 2017 $11.10 88pts.   1:44 - 2:42 -- small rant on thin skin vs. thick skin grapes and why it matters   6:11 - 11:44 -- Hahn Pinot Noir 2018 $11.10 82pts   9:25 -- Some things to look for when tasting red wine   12:07 -- J.

THIS IS IT.  In nearly 15 years of working in the Hospitality industry this is probably the most insightful presentation regarding Hospitality I’ve ever heard.  Something everyone needs to hear.  Chefs. Bartenders. Restaurant managers.  Sommeliers. Hostesses. Food Runners. Bussers. Bar Backs. Back waiters. Owners. Operators.  This is coming at a great time too during the holidays where I know I for one have experienced higher levels of anxiety working in this industry.  It’s not easy.   Bobby talks about that, keeping a positive mindset in order to take care of one’s self, to in turn be better suited to take care of the guest, what it takes to be a pro in this field, perception of our career in society, an so much more.  Above all I’m just damn excited for all of you to hear this and get inspired, and apply it your own career paths. Check the link in my bio for the audio podcast! Thank you Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey for all that you do for this industry, and for paving the way for us to continue down this path that we love and are addicted to.
