A sommalier is a wine steward, not the same thing as a wine waiter. Wine stewards are trained and knowledgeable wine professionals who work in fine restaurants and specialize in all aspects of wine service and pairing wines with foods.

Wine Shops For Wine Lovers Wine, that lovely, often heady libation that began when someone discovered the wonders of fermentation. When we think of wine, we immediately think of grapes: white, red, pink and purple. All make lovely wines with a bit of chemical fermentation and aging. Wine is the nectar of the gods as we are told. And, it truly does originate as far back in time as memory can stretch. Vintage wines are collected by wine lovers everywhere. There are different classes of wines to suit any palate. Entire wine tasting parties take place just to sample nature’s heavenly varieties of wine. We celebrate with champagne, Asti Spumanti or a pricey Chateau Rothschild. Clearly, the best wines come from areas where there is a perfect balance of sun, moisture and perfect soil. Hence, the foothills of the mountains in Italy, France, Spain and Germany provide some of the world’s best wines. Vineyards, Vintners and Vino From the vineyards of the world, vintners produce millions of bottles of wine. These are carefully crated and shipped to wine shops. Local wine shops have an advantage over the larger mass-produced wine emporiums. Local wine shops can arrange for a special vintage or brand of wine for customers. This is also true of online wine shops. In addition, wine shop owners assist with choosing the perfect wine to go with fish, meat, poultry or dessert. It’s like having your own personal sommalier. Wine shops allow the wine connoisseur an opportunity to browse rows and rows of wines to find the perfect wine for dinner, a party or for the enjoyment of a delightful glass of wine whenever one feels in the mood. Wine Shops - Not Just For Shoppers Wine Shops have a regular clientele of restaurants for whom they provide full compliments of dinner and dessert wines. In addition, wine shops are the first place to go for catered affairs like weddings, anniversaries and large group events. All the fun of a wine shop is planning a wine tasting party for friends and having a wine shop proprietor suggest a wine list. Wine makes the perfect gift to celebrate any occasion.
