Life of a She Sommelier

Описание: Kriti Malhotra is a Sommelier at the Pullman & Novotel, New Delhi Aerocity,
and a certified Sommelier from The Court of Master Sommeliers.
In this short feature shot at Pling, the vibrant lux-lounge,
Kriti talks us through her journey as a one of the few She Sommeliers in India.
The Court of Master Sommeliers, (CMS) established in 1977, is an independent examining body that offers the 'Master Sommelier Diploma', the 'Advanced Sommelier Certificate', the 'Certified Sommelier Certificate', and the 'Introductory Sommelier Certificate'; and was created under the supervision of the following British based institutions: the Vintners Company, the Institute of Masters of Wine, the British Hotels & Restaurants Association, the Wine and Spirit Trade Association of Great Britain and the Wholesale Tobacco Trade Association. The Court also offers intermediate levels of education including the annual "Advanced Sommelier Course", which prepares invited candidates to sit for the Advanced Exam, generally offered 2–3 times per year. Taking the Advanced Course and passing the Advanced Exam are mandatory before sitting for the Masters Exam.
A sommelier may be responsible for the development of wine lists, and books and for the delivery of wine service and training for the other restaurant staff. Working along with the culinary team, they pair and suggest wines that will best complement each particular food menu item. This entails the need for a deep knowledge of how food and wine, beer, spirits and other beverages work in harmony. A professional sommelier also works on the floor of the restaurant and is in direct contact with restaurant patrons. The sommelier has a responsibility to work within the taste preference and budget parameters of the patron.
In modern times, a sommelier's role may be considered broader than working only with wines, and may encompass all aspects of the restaurant's service, with an enhanced focus on wines, beers, spirits, soft-drinks, cocktails, mineral waters, and tobaccos.
For this shoot too, we at www.shotstories.net fielded our trusted Nikon D5100 with the Nikkor 35mm F1.8 AF-S, and predictably it amazed us with the results. For all the shots, the main light source is the natural light pouring in from the expansive glass windows of the Pullman Aerocity Delhi
