Job Description
Being a restaurant sommelier is a rewarding position. However, it requires more than just opening up bottles for people and making the occasional wine pairing suggestion. The essence of the job is behind the scenes: a sommelier runs a business within a business.
Is a sommelier a well-informed wine snob Is their job an excuse to showcase their all-encompassing knowledge of wine regions and wine laws Absolutely not! The idea that being a sommelier is a fancy pantsposition is a myth.
What does a somm do First, they must make money for the restaurant; they build a wine list. To be successful, the list will match the cuisine, conform to the pricing structure of the restaurant, and appeal to the demographic that frequents the establishment.
There is no room for placing 75 bone-dry Rieslings on the list at a steakhouse. Just because a sommelier thinks they are exceptional wines is not a reason to be included. Buyingwine that doesnt sell is a sure-fire way for a sommelier to join the unemployment line. However, this doesnt mean there is no room for expression and exposing clientele to new and exciting eclectic wines.
If you take the steakhouse example, the route to success is a wine list full of rich and hearty reds like Cabernet Sauvignon. The following is a list of responsibilities and duties that summarize the entirety of what a restaurant sommelier does.
