HospitaliTV Podcast Rafael Peterson

Grateful to have sat down with my buddy and bad ass sommelier Zack Musick, director of education for The German Wine Collection.  We discussed all things German wine, as well as Zack's background in hospitality, best advice to young sommeliers, overcoming obstacles to create a diverse and engaging wine list, and much more!

Very grateful to have had MAURICE DIMARINO, beverage director of the Cohn Restaurant Group, donate his time to do a seminar on: State of the Union in our Industry – how to be viable in an ever changing business through guest & staff engagement while managing a positive P&L. This is the 3rd installment of educational seminars around hospitality followed by networking sessions here in San Diego, with more on the way! If you're interested in attending, please reach out. Don't forget to SUSCRIBE to this channel for more update!

Today’s episode was a recording of a recent seminar delivered by Master Sommelier Will Costello for the Somm community in San Diego.  The subject of the seminar was navigating the current marketplace, negotiating salaries, contract work, and proving your value as a somm from a dollars and cents perspective.   This is by far, in my opinion, one of the most important skills to have in order to create more job opportunities and growth for the industry.
