Latest newsYoung Sommelier CompetitionBravo Remi. The 2011 International Young Sommeliers Competition took place in Athens, Greece ON 16 September. The Judges reported that it was an excellent competition with the competitors from all countries being be congratulated on their performances. Remi Cousin from the Fat Duck at Bray, Berkshire represented GB. Congratulations to Remi and to Isa Bal his Head Sommelier on the preparation work they did before the competition. It really helped ensure that the result was very close. The results were First Place Ian Cauble, United States, Second Place Remi Cousin, Great Britain and Third Place Nicos Giannopoulos, Greece. The very high standard of this event can be judged by the fact that the winner had very recently won the open title Best Sommelier in the United States. A great result for Remi who said that he had really enjoyed the whole experience of the competition and the camaraderie amongst the competitors. |
