#13 - Sommelier Greg Stokes of Accent - a podcast by Ray Chmielecki

On this episode of the Spoon Mob Podcast, Ray talks with advanced sommelier Greg Stokes of Accent about accidentally taking the intro sommelier exam, passing on law school, how the sommelier process works, just how difficult it is to get to the advanced and master levels, how he first got started working in restaurants, his time as the beverage director at Till Dynamic Fare, working as a wine sales rep, convincing Veritas chef/owner Josh Dalton to hire him as a sommelier/general manager, what a day in the sommelier's life is like at a restaurant, starting Cuvee Wine Society at the start of the pandemic, the vision for his new wine shop Accent in downtown Columbus, what the wine landscape looks like in a post pandemic world, and what he would do if he were in charge of marketing for a champagne house before answering the "burning grill" questions!
