📢I talk🎙️with Pável Martínez, Sommelier 🍷 at Hotel La Casa de la Playa by Grupo Xcaret in Playa del Carmen.🍷 . 🎇 🎉 ✨ 👏😋 🥂
Pável has been in the restaurant 🍽️ business his whole career starting out as a Restaurant Supervisor at Rosewood Hotels & Resorts in Riveria Maya. Here, he met his mentor and got the wine bug which he carried through the rest of his career. He then managed restaurants and continued his sommelier work along the way.
He also became a professor 🍎 teaching other wine 🍷enthusiasts 😃 for 10 years and passed Level 2 Wine & Spirits from WSET.
I received some great insight into the Mexican beverage market and where they stand on Low & No Alc. I’m excited to follow the new types of agave spirits as they become more accessible in the US and to follow the progress of their wines as more and more investment is put behind these endeavors.
I enjoyed talking to Pavel and learning about his journey throughout the beverage industry. I also really enjoyed learning about the Mexican beverage market and I know you will too!
