Today on the podcast we have Master Sommelier Nicolas Clerc. Nico is originally from the Savoie area of France (in the French Alps, north of Marseille) but has lived and worked in the UK since 2003. A former UK sommelier of the year, he is currently working for Armit Wines as a brand manager after working for Fields, Morris &amp; Verdin as a prestige account manager. He is also a board member for the Court of Master Sommeliers Europe.We met in 2008 when we were both sommeliers at Vue de monde restaurant in Melbourne.Nico visited South Africa for the first time in winter 2019 and we spent a few days together travelling around the winelands visiting some of the best producers in the country. I wanted to chat with Nico to get his view on South African wine from a perspective someone deep in the scene of UK fine dining and sommeliers working in Europe. As you will hear Nico is a hugely passionate lover of wine and food and it is almost impossible not to get carried away with him. Again, just a quick note on the quality of the audio – as we are in lockdown at the moment in South Africa and we are relying on the internet to record these podcasts, and it doesn’t always behave. We have done what we can to make it listenable as possible.I give you Nicolas Clerc, Master Sommelier…
