An Insiders’ Guide to Food & Wine Pairing with James Lloyd, Head Sommelier at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay

This is going to be a delicious episode! In today’s podcast we discuss wine and food pairings with James Lloyd, Head Sommelier at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. 
 

Starting his career in wine in 1999, James has over 20 years experience from working with importers, wine producers and as a Sommelier for some of the world's greatest chefs. It all started in a hotel in South London moving to Gordon's flagship, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay (3* Michelin) in 2002 as a Commis Sommelier where he moved to Assistant Head Sommelier and remained until a move to New York as part of the opening team for Gordon and stayed for a year.
 

      After 5 years with the group, a move to Italy beckoned, in Piedmont, where he worked as an intern for Cantina Ceretto assisting in the production of their Barolo's, Barbaresco's and international blends, learning the ropes of wine making first hand. Once the harvest was complete he relocated to Lake Garda to take on a Sommelier position. Moving back to London in 2008, James initially became Head Sommelier for Marcus Wareing before moving to an importer, selling to Michelin Star Restaurants and top Hotels in London to gain more knowledge and to improve his skills as a wine buyer, to learn marketing and understand importing.

      Returning to Restaurants, James worked with Pierre Koffmann, Alain Ducasse, Playboy and consulted in the City of London before returning home to Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in 2016 as Head Sommelier where he is based, but his responsibilities are spread across the group and also being responsible for wine investment.  Having just celebrated two milestones of maintaining 3 Michelin Stars for 20 years and 10 years of working along side Gordon he is looking forward to many more.
