Tom Vigeant, the coordinator of the Sommelier Certificate Program at La Cité collégiale, answers the 5 worst questions that you can ask a sommelier. ou going to try to sell me an expensive wine?
2. Shouldn’t I just order your cheapest wine on the list, that’s the best value right?
3. I’m on a date and have a price in mind, but don’t know which wine. Are you going to make me say the price out loud to help me choose?
4. You recommended a wine to me, I’m tasting it and I don’t like it. It’s my fault for not being as sophisticated as you are?
5. Do I have to tip you separately from the server, and if so, how much? Is there a limit if I’m ordering an expensive wine?
