Hello everyone, you are listening to the Earful Tower podcast. My name is Oliver G. This is a show about Paris and France and everything that comes with it.

And one of the big parts of that is wine. And I'm sure you all knew that. That's probably why you clicked on the episode.

Today's guest is a sommelier. Do you hear how I pronounced it differently from sommelier?

That's because that's how you say it when it's a woman, which is a topic that we talk a little bit about.

I didn't even know.

I didn't even think that there was a difference in the word, and you'll hear me learn that a little bit into the conversation.

But the guest today is Etelia Hananava and she is a canadian somelier as i said

in paris she works at the restaurant commis which is 31 rue de versailles in the 16th arrondissement

she runs it with her husband noam and at that restaurant is where we recorded the interview

and where we talked about everything from how she got into the industry.

Sort of a few tips for if you are ordering wine in a restaurant.

A good story, too, about how the restaurant got its Michelin Star.

And as always, plenty more than that. I'll be back at the end to repeat the name of the restaurant got its Michelin Star. And as always, plenty more than that.

I'll be back at the end to repeat the name of the restaurant

and to tell you how to find it.

And a little more from the world of Earful Tower.

But here we are.

Imagine you're in the 16th hour on this one with me in the restaurant.

It wasn't open to the public at the time.

So you might be able to hear in the background the last of the marathon runners running right past the front door.

But here we go, a chat with Etelio Hananava.

I hope you guys enjoy it.
