Enjoying the Vintage
Artwork Description
The artist’s composition portrays the Executive Chef and sommelier as they convene to select the perfect wine pairing for each delightful course on the menu. Descending down the spiral staircase, they retreat to the restaurant’s wine cellar, replete with a fine vintage collection that is the result of years of acquiring the finest wines from regions around the world. The subtle position of their respective glasses illustrates the process in which they evaluate a certain vintage. The chef inhales the aroma, as the sommelier swirls his glass to examine the wine’s body and texture. They intentionally avoid eye contact as to not influence one another’s opinion. Inciting the senses, the many nuances of color, flavor, weight and bouquet are taken into consideration as they use their expertise to collaborate on the most select, epicurean experience.
