Then, from 2011 to 2016, I held the positions of head sommelier for Laurie Rapha\u00ebl restaurants in Quebec and Montreal; this segment of my learning will have taught me as much about management as ubiquity. Since 2016, I have been the head sommelier of Coureur des Bois in Beloeil, where I learn every day the privilege given to me of humbly working side by side with people and unique wines. The group expanded by acquiring a sugar shack in Saint-Marc sur Richelieu in 2019, called La Cabane du Coureur, then by opening, in June 2021, a new restaurant called h3, located in the city center. city of Montreal, in the Humaniti hotel. Since 2019 my role has changed from Head Sommelier to Director of Sommellerie of the 3 establishments.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, since fall 2014, I have been working as a sommelier teacher at the ITHQ. This profession confirms full-time all the rigor and pedagogy required for the transmission of knowledge in addition to allowing a critical reflection of our profession at all times.<\/p>\n<p>Teaching is nourished by learning, in this sense, since 2015, I started the certification of the Court of Master Sommelier by going through the first three levels, only the Diploma portion remains, which will take place in the summer of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2020, I won the competition for the Best Sommelier of Quebec.

restaurant. \u00a0He followed this with a term as Sommelier and Bar Manager at the five-star Mandarin Hotel and achieved certification by the U.K. Guild of Sommeliers.<\/p>\n<p>After a few years enjoying recreational pursuits in Whistler, Taylor moved up to the heart of BC wine country to open The Cellar Door Bistro.\u00a0 The Cellar Door received critical acclaim as the top restaurant in the region from Okanagan Life Magazine.\u00a0 But alas, the big city and B.C.&#8217;s beautiful lower mainland beckoned Taylor once again.<\/p>\n<p>When he returned to Vancouver, Taylor opened Cru Restaurant &amp; Wine Bar to almost immediate critical acclaim: \u00a0in 2004 the restaurant was ranked number three in EnRoute Magazine\u2019s Top Ten New Restaurants in Canada.\u00a0 Over the years Cru earned many more awards and accolades for its cuisine and wine program, including a special award for Most Innovative Wine List in 2004, the same year Taylor himself was named British Columbia Sommelier of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Now President of The Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers, BC Chapter, Taylor is very active in the Vancouver wine and food scene.\u00a0 He served as a wine

><p>Peter is the Bar Manager and Sommelier at Bar Gobo in Vancouver. Though he moved to Vancouver to study geology, the cafe and restaurant scene in Vancouver hooked him in and he has not looked back since. After a long stint as a barman at the now closed Upstairs\u00a0@ Campagnolo, Peter was brought on to open up Bar Gobo, an intimate wine bar on the edge of Chinatown where he loves opening up fun and new bottles for fellow wine nerds and neighbourhood regulars. In 2020, Peter won the CAPS BC Sommelier of the Year competition. He is easily plied with grower Champagne, riesling of all kinds and amaro.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-933\"

The overtones of teaching &amp; education on the front palate combine with formal WSET-based wine training and informal industry training on the mid and back palate, creating a smoothly well-rounded experience. The base is an overwhelming love for all wine, with complexities expressed by passion for the emerging &amp; exciting BC wine industry. Food and its enhancement of wine plays a primary role in the experience, be it at home, in a commercial setting or for private clients. A classic pairing for Shrawan is Champagne and french fries, but he generally pairs well with any sparkling wine and fried, salty food. Accolades for Shrawan include WSET 3, Wine Scholar Guild Master of Champagne, Canadian Wine Scholar, BC Wine Ambassador. Best enjoyed now for great classes and wine lists, but will cellar for many years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a wine\u00a0for every person, some people just haven&#8217;t found their wine yet!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-930\" src=\"https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-facebook.png\" alt=\"Facebook logo\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-facebook.png 45w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-facebook-36x36.png 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 20px) 100vw, 20px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>@Shrawan Khanna<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-931\" src=\"https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-instagram.png\" alt=\"Instagram logo\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-instagram.png 45w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-instagram-36x36.png 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 20px) 100vw, 20px\" \/>@shravk67<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-933\" src=\"https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-twitter.png\" alt=\"Twitter logo\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-twitter.png 45w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/03\/i-twitter-36x36.png 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 20px) 100vw, 20px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>@shravk67<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7i8lvv-6d123a1568787893083cf2425658c92d\">\n.flex_column.av-7i8lvv-6d123a1568787893083cf2425658c92d{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-7i8lvv-6d123a1568787893083cf2425658c92d av_one_third  avia-builder-el-125  el_after_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5l51ez-c9bcc1b2b65f03b2ae5940b31164a48e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-5l51ez-c9bcc1b2b65f03b2ae5940b31164a48e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-5l51ez-c9bcc1b2b65f03b2ae5940b31164a48e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-5l51ez-c9bcc1b2b65f03b2ae5940b31164a48e av-styling-circle avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-126  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-8121 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-8121 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Veronique-Riverst-Square.jpg\" alt='' title='Veronique Riverst Square'  height=\"851\" width=\"851\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Veronique-Riverst-Square.jpg 851w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Veronique-Riverst-Square-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Veronique-Riverst-Square-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Veronique-Riverst-Square-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Veronique-Riverst-Square-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Veronique-Riverst-Square-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/winebc.com\/industry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Veronique-Riverst-Square-705x705.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kq72hwct-5d6f4df4d78c6ccd6721b61987352b83 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #6d2007;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #6cc24a;\">V<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #6d2007;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #6cc24a;\">\u00e9<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #6d2007;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #6cc24a;\">ronique Rivest<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sommelier &amp;
