Power Sommelier: William Rhodes
"'I think what we're trying to do here with the hotel is pretty special...' says William Rhodes, the
newly appointed wine director for The Carlyle Hotel..."
"... In a unique cobranding move William introduced The Carlyle's first private label wine, a 2004
Syrah ($90) created exclusively for the hotel by California's Clos Mimi vineyard. Tim Spear, winemaker
at Clos Mimi, helped Rhodes kick off his first wine dinner recently, part of a series in which top
vineyards are invited to pair their vintages with chef Jimmy Sakatos' menu."
