On today's show Stephen chats wine with someone we've admired in the wine industry for awhile, fellow sommelier, Femi Oyediran. Femi is the co-owner of Graft wine shop in Charleston, SC.
He found his passion for wine at a young age while working at the Charleston Grill and during his time there, he made the rare achievement of passing the first three levels of the Court of Master Sommeliers within two years. He is a two-time national finalist for the Chaîne des Rôtisseur's Best Young Sommeliers Competition. And in 2018 he was awarded Wine Enthusiast Magazine’s ‘40 Under 40’ and was selected as “Sommelier of the Year” by Food and Wine Magazine in 2019.
On this episode we chat about becoming a sommelier in a predominantly white space, his passion for music and pairings of music and wine, and our thoughts on the influx of a sober curious generation.
