The Wine CEO Podcast Episode #46: Real Life of a 5 Diamond Restaurant Maitre d

In episode #46 we hear from a real life Maitre d of a 5 star/ 5 diamond restaurant. Israel Perez has been the Maitre d and General Manager of Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa for over 15 years. In this time, he has gained incredible experience serving guests from a wine list of over 700 bottles. In this episode, Israel tells us how he picks wine for the list, how he pairs wine with the incredible food of James Beard nominated Chef Scott Hunnel, and he shares a personal perspective of what it's like to work at such a high profile restaurant. Ever wondered how you get a job like that or what it takes to be a maitre d? Have you ever been curious about what it's like to serve someone a bottle of wine worth $35,000?! Then this episode is for you! Listen now and don't forget to write a review after to tell me what you enjoyed most about the show.
