Culinary Student Finds Niche Helping Customers Find Wine
Charleston Post Courier:
A lot of high school students work in restaurants, but for Brian Carver, the experience was more than just a way to make money.
“I really fell in love with cooking,” Carver said, and that brought him from Beaufort to Johnson & Wales University in Charleston. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in 2005 in food and beverage management, but his culinary education led to an interest in wine.
Carver spent six weeks in Europe, stopping at wineries in Germany, France and Switzerland, while he was a college student.
“That was kind of my introduction to wine,” he said.
Carver, 27, joined Total Wine & More three years ago and has been wine manager at the West Ashley store for about six months.
His responsibilities include inventory and merchandise, but he’s often walking the aisles helping customers who may be intimidated or bewildered by 8,000 types of wines sold at the store.
It’s a part of the job that Carver enjoys because he recognizes that customers often are making purchases for special occasions. Full story.
