My April birthday weekend celebration in Carmel . So many of you came to Carmel to join in the fun, and I was very happy to see you all. For those of you who couldnât be there, the weekend started off with Jim Martinez and Laura Didierâs wonderful tribute show that seems to have become an annual tradition.
Sommelier = Wine Expert. While some wine consumers may consider themselves experts, a true wine expert is called a sommelier. A sommelier, also known as a wine steward, is a person that has undergone training in order to become extremely knowledgeable about wine. It can take many years of training to become a master sommelier.
Waiterâs corkscrews go by many different names: sommelier knife, waiterâs friend, and wine key among them. Their primary function, as with any corkscrew, is to remove the corks from bottles of wine, of course, but they generally have a small blade for removing the foil, as well as a bottle opener for popping the top off a beer.
