wine stewards

Restaurant grape advisors

Wine stewards are restaurant staff responsible for wine service and cellar management.

They advise guests on wine selection, suggest pairings with food, and handle the ritual of presentation and pouring.

The formal term is sommelier, though wine steward remains common in less formal establishments: The wine steward recommended a Burgundy with the lamb.
