The Craft of a Cellar Master with Patrick White
Episode description
Patrick White is the lead Somm and Cellar Master at the Adelaide Club. With a resume like his, it's no wonder he has the trust of both the Club and the wider industry. An Adelaide local, Patrick has been a somm since 2001, working his way across the country, from top end restaurants in Sydney to the Penfolds Maggill Restaurant and the Mt Lofty House Estate in the Adelaide Hills where he was nominated for both wine list and somm of the year. Patrick also was a participant in the 2010 Len Evans Tutorial. So with his credentials firmly established, my goal was to identify the interrelationship between a formal education and training and the practical skills a hospitality professional uses day to day to create incredible experiences for patrons. Patrick’s experience is apparent and it was a real pleasure to host him on the CDP. A huge thanks to Patrick for joining me.
