Roy's Sales and Marketing Manager Cristina Baumann recently earned a Level 1 sommelier certification from the Court of Masters Sommeliers, an accomplishment that affirms her expertise in providing guests assistance with wine selection and pairings.
Quenching her thirst for a newfound passion, Baumann successfully completed a rigorous course and exam in production methods of wines and spirits, wine service, wine tasting skills and wine pairing techniques. The certification illustrates her talent and skill in working on the special event and wine tasting menus on which Baumann and Chef Partner Percy Oani collaborate, as well as her individual wine recommendations.
