14/10/2022 While having an insightful wine conversation, Ronan shares how to choose a good sommelier. It’s important to have the right attitude along with all the knowledge about vintage and classic things about wine.

According to him, chatting with the people he interviews is an essential part of the process. As he stimulates the conversation with them, he reads their attitude within 5 minutes. Technical questioning is additional, for example, knowing what temperature would non-vintage champagne be served as compared to a 1959 Dom Pérignon would be very helpful.
