Podcast appearances and mentions of arvid rosengren

Only sixteen people hold the rare title of 'The Best Sommelier In The World'. Arvid Rosengren is one of them. He takes us on the long crazy journey to the mountain top.

Arvid Rosengren is one of the most merited sommeliers in the world, holding a range of competition wins and titles, the crowning achievement being the 2016 A.S.I. Best Sommelier of the World, a competition held every three years for candidates representing sixty countries. It tests theoretical knowledge, blind tastings of various beverages and practical service skills Born and raised in the south of Sweden, Arvid initially studied Nanotechnology Engineering but figured out half-way through that working with his true passion – food and wine – would be preferable to wearing a lab coat. After a brief time in Stockholm and a period at the Hotel du Vin in the UK, Arvid settled in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he spent the next six years growing from the floor sommelier of a busy restaurant to wine director for an ambitious group of almost a dozen establishments. Arvid was born and raised in Sweden and initially studied Nanotechnology Engineering, but decided to change his career path to food and wine. He has worked at several of the world’s best restaurants in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Britain and New York City. To learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.

Swedish born Arvid Rosengren was always intrigued with food as a kid, but not before putting Nanotechnology behind him. He honed his wine skills participating in Sommelier competitions winning Best Sommelier in Sweden in 2010, Best Sommelier in Europe in 2013, and ultimately rising to “The Best Sommelier in the World” in 2016. He made his way to the US after many years on the Scandinavian and European restaurant scene. Arvid now leads the Hospitality and Wine Team at the Delicious Hospitality Group; you know them, Charlie Bird, Pasquale Jones, and Legacy Records. The Grape Nation is powered by Simplecast

Arvid Rosengren is the Wine Director of Legacy Records, the restaurant in Manhattan. He won the World's Best Sommelier title in 2016. Arvid shares his memories of growing up in a household of limited means, and what that brought later in his life to his attitude as a competitor and a working sommelier. He recalls his wine studies in Sweden, and his work in restaurants in both Denmark and Sweden before his move to New York. He also recounts the process of winning the World's Best Sommelier Competition, and what he did to train and compete in that event. Now looking back, Arvid reveals some of his thoughts about sommelier competitions as well. This episode is sponsored by: SevenFifty Effervescence The Historic Vineyard Tasting

This week on In the Drink, host Joe Campanale is joined in the studio by Arvid Rosengren, the Best Sommelier in the World! Born and raised in the south of Sweden, Arvid initially studied Nanotechnology Engineering but figured out half-way through that working with his true passion – food and wine – would be preferable to wearing a lab coat. He spent two years at the Grythyttan School of Hospitality & Culinary Arts, while doing stints at some of the better restaurants in Scandinavia. After a brief time in Stockholm and a period at the Hotel du Vin in the UK, Arvid settled in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he spent the next six years growing from the floor sommelier of a busy restaurant to wine director for an ambitious group of almost a dozen establishments. Nearing thirty, Arvid had become a bit restless, and again needed to get away from spreadsheets and back on the floor, with the guests and the bottles. The possibility to go to New York and work came rather unexpectedly, but the allure was strong. Currently, Arvid spends most nights pushing bottles at Charlie Bird on the western edge of SoHo. Arvid is one of the most merited sommeliers in the world, holding a range of competition wins and titles, the latest and greatest being the Best Sommelier in the World, a competition held every three years for candidates representing close to sixty countries. It tests theoretical knowledge, blind tastings of various beverages and practical service skills.

I avsnitt fyra träffar Alf Tumble den nyblivna europamästaren i sommelieri (och numera världsmästare!) Arvid Rosengren. Till vardags arbetandes i Köpenhamn ger han sin syn på dansk respektive svensk dryckeskultur. Han berättar om nervositeten inför en tävling, dumma vininköp till krogen och om sin oproportionerligt stora kärlek till Loire. Som grädde på moset tipsar Arvid om de mest spännande vinerna i världen just nu. Och då handlar det inte om jordgubbspinot. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
