Arc Cardinal, a North American leading tabletop supplier to the hospitality industry, is bringing French Sommelier Sébastien Depis and Expert Bar Consultant/Mixologist Derrick Turner to the 2019 National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show.
Sébastien Depis (pictured above), a French wine consultant and sommelier, will be leading a wine tasting and sommelier competition at the show. The tasting will showcase one wine in multiple glass shapes to show how the shape of the glass can transform and change the wine experience. Following the tasting will be a competition where Depis will be challenging show attendees to a taste test. Who will be able to out taste the sommelier?
As an expert beverage consultant on Paramount Network’s Bar Rescue, Derrick Turner transforms bars and provides expert knowledge to restaurants. Turner will be demonstrating how to speed bartend. Attendees will be able to put their learning to the test and participate in fast bottle opening with Turner. He will also be leading a “Garnish 101” session where he will teach how to dress up the entire glass from top to bottom through garnishing.
Depis and Turner will be at the show Saturday through Monday. Depis will be doing the wine tasting each day from 12pm-1pm and the sommelier competition from 2:30pm-3:30pm. Turner will be teaching how to speed bartend from 2:15pm-3:15pm and “Garnish 101” from 3:45pm-4:45pm. Attendees are encouraged to attend the sessions.
