NEW SOMMELIER TRAINING COURSE IN DUBLIN
July 12, 2011 No Comments
I’m all for training sommeliers. If a little learning means an end to woejous wine waiters resting the bottle neck on my glass or pouring wine from the second bottle into a glass still containing some of the first, then great. The Restaurant Association Of Ireland (RAI) has asked me to let people know about the training course they’ve initiated in conjunction with the Irish Guild of Sommeliers. If these courses result in a better wine experience in a restaurant, I’m happy to oblige.
Following the hugely successful training programme launched in October 2010, The Irish Guild of Sommeliers (IGS) in partnership with the Restaurant Association Of Ireland (RAI) are running another modular 8 week Sommeliers Certificate training programme in wine service and product knowledge to members of both organisations. This will conclude with an exam in January.
