On today’s episode I get lots of time with Shanteh Wong as and I sit in the lower tower dining room of award wining, internationally recognized fine dining Quay restaurant over looking Circular Quay, The Harbour Bridge and Opera house.

Shanteh is the Head Sommelier at Quay and has been with the venue for many years.

Shanteh talks about her history with wine, her in depth studies over the years to master her craft, the resources available to you in the world of wine if you are starting out or just as a hobby and her role and responsibilities as head sommelier at quay.

We talk about the Sommelier community, tastings, managing a cellar, relationships with producers and much more.

I get some great insight into what a day in the life of a Somm is like, the day to day roles, staff meals, relationship wth the kitchen and her team.

Shanteh even gave us her fave wine bars in Sydney, so you will have to listen to find out where and add to your list.

I had the best time with Shanteh, she is extremely professional, a very humber leader, manager and just a very kind person.
