The Professional Wine Expert, Cook, & Lifelong Student
You love wine. You want to learn more, but do you have what it takes to become a professional sommelier? We know a guy who became certified while working as a professional cook, earning his Bachelor of Arts, and studying Chinese.
Las Vegas Sommelier Logan Pankhurst finds wine pairings a little easier than the average wine expert. He knows the exact ingredients in most sauces because he spent many years on the line as a professional cook at restaurants like Bazaar Meat, Carbone, and most recently at Zuma in The Cosmopolitan where he now works as a Certified Somm.
The new dad tells 2 Sharp Chefs Lorraine Moss and Louiie Victa why he decided to transition from back of house to suit and tie, what it's like to work hospitality hours with a baby at home and one on the way, and how he handles wine "experts" who don't know a lot about wine.
PODCAST Mentions: Toridokoro Raku, Resorts World, Court of Master Sommeliers, UC Davis Winemaking Certificate Program
