02 / Palate

The sensory toolkit.

A sommelier’s skill is more than tasting. It is memory, calibration, communication and the ability to make a confident recommendation in seconds.

01

Pairing

Acidity, texture, intensity and aromatic bridges matched to the plate and the guest.

02

Cellar

Vintage tracking, rotation, service temperature, glassware and cellar storytelling.

03

Service

Graceful presentation, table-side confidence and recommendations without pressure.

Tasting vocabulary

Notes worth remembering.

I use a structured tasting lens, then translate it into guest-friendly language.

Guest perspective
“The best recommendation is the one that makes a guest say: that is exactly what I wanted.”
- service philosophy
Pairing lens

From plate to glass.

For every pairing, I ask three questions: what is the dominant flavor, what is the texture, and what should the next sip do?
