No one wakes up one morning and says my goal in life is to be a sommelier. It’s a job that just kind of happens…Now I find myself flying coast to coast and around the world…
Here's a pretty cool food and wine event series to report – Master Sommelier Emily Wines of Nios Restaurant & Wine Bar ... is hosting a series of Sommelier Smackdowns where she will be going head-to-head with some of the most renowned wines and spirits experts and personalities around in a pairing contest.
Chefs always get all the attention — their own TV shows, cookbooks, interviews. Now it's time for the wine geeks to get some love. And if you’re an enthusiastic oenophile, you won’t want to miss the “Sommelier Smackdown” at the newly opened NIOS Restaurant and Wine Bar in Times Square.
The Muse Hotel in New York City is a true gem. The pretty little boutique hotel is located on West 46th Street, near Times Square and the theater district, and now, even New Yorkers will be frequenting it's chic lobby. Why? They've opened a terrific new restaurant: Nios.
