I have heard many good things about Rajat Parr for many years. One of the cool things about real wine people is they keep up the wine work regardless how skilled or knowledgeable. Many people aspire to become top sommeliers and very few choose to stay in the restaurants. Becoming a top sommelier means automatic job opportunities at corporate America. A nice desk job with everything that should come with the package. Restaurant work is too unpredictable and many throw the towel in on the first chance out. That leaves a vaccum of bona fide professionals and it is always good to see some stay in the ring. The winemaker is the best person to speak to about the wine also. Should be a great tasting.
