When you're the sommelier at a restaurant, as I am, your job is made a lot easier when you're working with a great chef. You don't want to have worked hard pairing wines with a menu and then have the food come out looking awful. Even if that food tastes incredible it can be ruined by poor presentation. I once ordered a steak that ended up tasting great, but was just thrown on the plate with overcooked carrots and lumpy mashed potatoes. I'm not saying you need perfectly placed flowers and dots of coolis, but come on! Make it look decent.
The other night we had a larger party order more than one steak and wanted them sliced, so our chef decided to send them out a little differently...
To say that my mouth started watering is an understatement. I also suddenly wanted a glass of Cab Sauv 🍷💛
Thanks for your support!
