Episode Synopsis


In this episode, I sit down with Robert Luo — head sommelier at Restaurant Pearl Morissette, recently named Canada’s Best Restaurant. Rob has worked his way through wineries and restaurants around the world, learned from some great mentors, and gained invaluable experience the hard way — by rolling up his sleeves and putting in the work.  He’s incredibly humble — the kind of person who says he only became a sommelier because there was no one else around to pour the wine. Behind this modesty is a story of relentless curiosity, global experience, and a deep commitment to hospitality.
