Anani has traveled an interesting path. Originally from Togo, Africa, he came to the U.S. to work in a completely different field (I&amp;rsquo;ll let him tell the story), and has ultimately served as sommelier in several world-class restaurants including the famed French Laundry and its sister restaurant Per Se in New York. &amp;nbsp; Anani talks about his approach to serving guests, and the art of enjoying wine. One of his comments rang true with me and gets to the heart of this podcast: &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;Having a relationship through a glass of wine&amp;mdash; there&amp;rsquo;s nothing like it. That&amp;rsquo;s what makes wine so special.&amp;rdquo; WineCaster http://winecaster.libsyn.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2595270/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/6544355
