Wine menus do not necessarily reveal the best moments of each and every wine. Sometimes disappointment kicks in as the wine the patron has ordered is far from showing off its finest state. In other words, it either takes a longer time for that wine to be ready –though not full-bodied- or a major chunk of its splendor is definitely going south. That’s why the role the sommelier plays is so important, construed as the “right ingredient” in the bid to achieve gastronomic excellence. The job of this gastronomy professional sheds additional light on the kind of grape used in the winemaking process, the quality of the aging and the possibility of handpicking the right wine to get that perfect night you’ve been dreaming of.
