hello my name is stéphane and I
will you talk about my passion without
modesty without taboo but before that I
must you admit something gentlemen
and ladies I often tend to die I
falls under seduction under the spell
it even happens to me in surprise
dreaming in desire even I look under
the dress and yes I happen to have
really and I did that they wore
my lips and I do it and when I
go on the act there is the thrill the
the desire is the osmosis the apotheosis
my name is Stéphane and I am
wine waiter
and I will talk to you about my
passion that is wine and my relationship
passionate with wine kidd was a
not quite won thing that was
rather a course forbids a course
filled with the ambush and I think that
forbidden pleasures without certainly
the precursor of a great love
and there I can not talk to you
love without telling you about my family
and all the love I have received
also from my parents coming out of a
rent from a fairly modest home where I
a wonderful mom who has a small
low in all senses of the word
to be a little better she told us
to go in the right way
it protects us from bad life
excess of alcohol from all these
things there and a passionate lady
engaged and who especially has even managed
to surpass herself who has more than
35 years old will start tennis and at the
make two rounds to roland garros to
over 50 dull admiring of all that
thanks for my mom i did not do anything
so what puts in there we have
vainly who gave us a little
food health issue all of this is
dad bites him is a greedy
excessive by a little followed the movement
Dad was a construction man
always a construction man and was doing
a lot of things with precision
delicacy and at the same time
doggedly because he was
worker and is filled with good
will and dad was for me too
someone passionate about reading
passionate in reading there read 300
400 pages in a weekend for a man
of construction it was still not bad
and when we talk to him and daddy papa daddy
dad did not answer dad he was
in the seventh dimensions and it was
Great
and me in there you will tell me
what did I do there in me
I was a bit like my parents
committed enthusiasts without too much
reflection we went straight to the point
what are we doing what we dreamed of
only thing I dreamed was this
we did not have too much money we dreamed
all of being millionaires millionaires
the biggest pool and when we do
the little summary of his life we come
what to realize that my
memories for me it was the dream and
the dream was magical to have the
week 17 sunday
Sunday was something
of huge remember we went out of the
catechism we have lots of stories
the boiling brain and I arrived
the only thing I already heard at
far away it was the little clatter of the
high that made a little noise and there
I was looking for what mom did
stewed bites to queen one
exceptional fries chicken and I arrived
I heard the some life in the
house with my brothers and all this
family teeming with life and I’m
remember touched the handle of the
door at home metallic feel
the smell of the metal handle
like the madeleine de proust it’s up to
to say we managed to really feel the
emotions the moment everything that could
great in life and there I was telling myself
always and I still remember
today now the president of
the republic he’s coming and we
elect the best family in the world
these are sensations that were
there it was not finished me my job
I’m worker I had
works and there I was already
attendant to do the dishes and
drinks and of course the holy grail to
the time it was teisseire syrup
we do not drink tomorrow so we all did
competitions and all with mint this is
not good the passion the raspberry or the
strawberry is one of the things
beautiful
of course after all that we thought
maybe we will like the wine no no
little dirty kids as we were we
tasted a two times be the
grandfather a little wine in return for
family party anyway where we
had a little wine stung the
greens were not good the cousin a
not very proud we get to 12 14 years old becomes
guys go to my grandfather’s house
father they offer us an imperative
like the great gorgeous we take the air
of suse with an ice cube while proud the
worst things in the world we drop
dropped it was laurent and you me
say all this after what is it
give the college years
the college years what is that
it was little young man that I was
passionate bubbling I arrive when
even with that surprises me
today I arrive with the first
quarter with rather 10 820
will dump I was good at school the
first quarter and there I meet
with my friends I watch my friends
it was a little spotty with
glasses and all that we esteem the
crazy little elitist unfortunately
it was a bit like that in my
mind and there I say no no I want
not be like that I’m going rather
go to the side that I like I’m going to go
in my friends friends and
quickly I let the college is
rather I prefer my friends we go
to redo life for me it was
really important and yet the ticino
antithesis thesis mathematics
are and things that me for me
was exciting magic but I can
to do and buddies it was the real
life after I find myself having there
the end of third
alas after having redone the world
what do you prefer in life
will have to do something friends
yes bah friends it’s not a job
what do you love more about life
Stephane Ben I like eat drink
here are teisseire syrups
but that was it so pragmatic my
father said it’s fine we’ll do that
we will take the dna we are never
went to eat in a restaurant before
that day my parents are more
the house we were good and happy
I open the dna and we see a small
time because I still remember with es
united 7.7 restaurant that went into
sleep of the weird name crocodile but he
is hell white horse to lembach the
siding they have macaroons and I
do not know what it was macaroons I
thought it was pizza or
something like that we’re going
phone you tell yourself I’m going
to be a cook there is no room for
damage then relieved the other go to
white horse and that of the kitchens we’re going
at the white horse in lembach we start
road my father all proud he had
bought bx900 option if it’s that the
little black stripes but she was
great and we get there
remember we cross the porch the porch
beautiful mischler dogs and the
I’ve never seen a place
also end he still remembers seeing
the ceilings of the thermos the air that
hovered over you alas the world
change and I end up doing what
we see the door I’m there and I
see me still sitting on his round table
while entering right with my
blue shirt white striped small
green frog of my communion with the
bonaventure jacket small diamonds
blue it works the madeleine of Proust
see, that is to say we really have to
saint-elie that moment and me
I was really the dirty kid at the
base and suddenly I felt everything
little in this chair and there I see
fernand mischler who settles in front
from me he looks at me
he makes me it’s you who want to be
cook is at the head of a server
you will be servers
and there I say yes sir
I can tell you that if there are teachers
that I had I did not say yes sir
to someone I think of the age of 10
years to 15 years and fernand mischler
I do not know at hand really inspired
something reassuring he had a
human value and above all I had the
respect for things that I had not
always and I must confess I was a
little rebel and and analyzing the subject
I always said it was my
second dad is really I think
that they had the human qualities of
my dad and after that I get involved in
this job with a lot of passion when
even in the end we see a lot of beautiful
Car
we’ll stunning women we see
great things and I did not know
that this kind of atmosphere existed
I make a commitment I said I will go to
background and i’m going to go even to do my
bac pro I will not do when it’s
arrived I do a baccalaureate pro I commit myself
I had to learn wine
I do not like it but it does not matter
will go there
and over time I want to commit myself
tell me I have to cook
to be but of hotel so I do
must do things well
that’s important in our family
so I do things correctly I
do cook after doing so
cooking weapons there and a small
novel is happening that is to say it
must be stupid and disciplined
a task that I know realized to be
binary and is in the kitchen they say bah yes
if if you want to be a good cook he
You have to train once you leave the
bastringue
i see google inc for some and
we have the glass of beautiful red wine
with marc and kronenbourg on 25 felt
cooking temperature with five
stars above
the class
and we have to see that dry ass otherwise we
do not get in their car to go
in the disco and have a drink
in the evening, what do we do
runs but it was not good and
really not good especially the wine the
moments that went on pretty much
the moment when we went to drink
a beer at madeleine who for me
was an orangina that cost 9 euros
and there and under it’s something
precious
the plume and the monaco was at 6
francs 50
so we start drinking plume and
of monaco and we find ourselves taken to
less over time spent plume
and in the end we start to like the
beer and I did not like alcohol but
little by little I transform myself into
little kotick heaps
but this little alcoholic side was
for me magic because we had the
sparkling eyes the languages that are
looseness we see a magical world and
I really enjoyed it anyway
deep inside me despite all that
I not going to the right but I did not like
the wine and I find myself to be this
little gentleman loved the little
alcoholism and I say to myself there I am 17 years old
now i’m going to have to be a man
I will be able to go further I
meet my girlfriend my boyfriend actually
my 17 years old I buy a bottle of
vodka
I give a glass my copy I give a
drink to my boyfriend I drink a little
look at your case and I’ll say
now I see the rest and I saw
the bottle dry ass
I am a man I say it a big I
am strong
and there I take my bike I join my
girlfriend of the time I the agglos
I ‘m the police apparently running me
after they can not catch me
because I would like to bike a bit
doped and there I cross red lights
every Syrian pinpon a month I fight
with a little bit it’s baby bibi
bart obame one of the vip I hear the voice
dads and moms of which I am a
hospital i’m 17 years old i do my first
common and and how good is stéphane
you did everything your parents did
did they raise you bad
alcohol side of course our barrel
and that’s the drama
know that it’s a tragedy to have
disappointed his parents have disappointed a lot of
things in life and I tell myself my there
you have to bounce you have to
do something else and in this business
there we meet things
beautiful and I had heard a
phrase that had really seduced me
said that one does not judge the value of a
human in the way that it
fall to the ground judge the value of our
hands in the way in which he stands
relieves and I had to get up
it was obvious the time passes it is
to schmitt montpetit sommelier a fact
to taste a chablis 1er cru chablis 1er
gorgeous vintage asks if it’s good I
say wow super hellemmes makes dummies
it’s a bottle of wine or I put
of the white kitchen title it’s
disgusting
but here and there and then mx zero
zindi you’ll never be sommelier the
Right or tell me I’m no
do not tell them I’ll never be
sommelier is there of course by spirit
of contradiction
I decide to become a sommelier thank you
follow so I become somolli and for
saab must have it take studies
so of course what am I doing
take again all our thoughts
jia
I would like the crocodile instead
is taken it does not matter I have a
year at bio is hell for people who
know I think of the three stars
at the time like bob made the
sommellerie is good for a year I
go to germany to perfect my
German still of study between
quotes I also did england
to learn English and I’m coming
still went to the crocodile for
make mention sommellerie with sir
Gilbert Mestrallet Men For Me
beautiful who managed to seduce me
with his side a lot more
intellectual of the wine approach that
is a thing for me that is a
brain drink 20 old gilbert
best sommelier of france had a
vision of the wine that was cerebral and
this vision of wine pleased me and here we
found with the culture sink
what is it that culture is
said you will tell me that is to say
I had to play the old ones we open
a bottle of wine on guy
the label you drink you like you like
no we do not care you’re the label
before you have a taste and you set a name
above
and over time I create my ranges
like in music and it’s true that
I can discover tastes and
odors strong enough
I do not ever see it
Guaranteed I do not have that and we get
find anyway to have a
aromatic development that is created
who is constituted and I thought that
was not going to walk good brief
but in the end gilbert mestrallet a when
even if we train and I found him
it was not good but it was very
interesting so my curiosity was
arrived my classy super my taste of
huge wine
we wanted the greatest wines of the world
is in a 3 macaroons in the city center
and emulation and magic and this moment
are great
I found myself meeting again here
with a large team of 20 people
to put greens a little bit of
side and there I see go from where there is
a great glass of wine that attracts me a
beautiful dress aimin little
transparent
I go there I do not drink the glass
two sides me I put teeth and I
tell me it’s great I’m stirring huge and
I still see myself I put the wine in
mouth the attacked rich frank and the
complex mineral gougling gangs and
at the same time make my eyes alas a
firework as a firework
in my brain pam bam bam more
of emotion more sensations than
I could have dreamed of having
my life
the biggest thing I’ve tasted
and that puts me almost flat and who
was bigger than my mind I
did not know he had more things
great that my mind and it was the 20th
this magic that was the wine and I’m
find there for completely
stunned to realize that I
just fell in love with wine and there
my friends wake me up it’s you who has
drank the glass of wine that were there down
we had set aside yes yes he
was there it was good for once
but you never drink vain but that he
was good you saw our romanti conti
85
but it was good for me
I passed the holy grail of shooting
teisseire syrup strawberries so this
idea it was for me a unique moment
a little more difficult for my
colleagues who did not have time to
to taste the romanée-conti 85
first come first
served
and here I start to like wine and I
tell me go now you have to create my
own personality
I begin to exceed his 17 years I
drank a lot of atrocious things and by
against workers I judged of a
buddy bicho strasbourg i leave his
three stars where I was maybe
that a stupid and disciplined number and
there I say to myself now I must
find my voice must I become
something I have to transmit
my passion i will work at bitche
in Strasbourg restaurant very
nice where I get to big
starred in a small establishment
I’m blooming it’s great I’m coming to
to be close to customers elsewhere this
who helped my parents a little bit
accepted some notable who said
mistakes that if he is there he
works well he will even succeed his
life despite being alcoholic and that
they did not say that that’s what my
parents thought and and there we go
found at really spent an amount
and I arrive in my thirties I was a
little oil king has already
smothered everything lived and I say to myself
it’s not me I accelerate a little
movement and I come upon a reflection
individual Thursday must I go more
far it can not be I’m bored I
become debt and the crossing of friends
an evening shakes hands
hand we feel the evening that’s it I
sell restaurant tomorrow and days
the summit workshop is not sailing
which was for me an impossible thing
I did not think I could, and then that
is that it’s done and over there I’m exploiting
everything but all my character to do
fairly magical wines that are
wine food pairings position in the
difference and especially the defense of
two three topics that are going to be
explain to people give them two
three words to contain the smells
emotionally share the food pairings
wines also position themselves at
defend the chromatic minorities and
not just ethnic minorities
some wines have a difference a
quality we can not manage
rather understand an identity
often it is misunderstood and I
think to be there the jersey and I bring
a lot of emotion I explain to them the
things and it really brings something
magic thing
the high salary mountains there it is
to have wow it’s good I was
never tasted wine
and that’s why today I open
I opened this restaurant to share
my passion and I managed to shared
many things were for me
really I think my engine and at the same
time I’m not night I got
found and I found a
establishment that was beautiful and
summarizing all of this is also but a
little lady I met there
who told me stéphane now it takes
that you are passing contests is good and
we also began to make
Cerebral- style competition two years ago
jean passing in fifteen days of
new we pass again a step
fabulous so here I spent full
of magical moments and I just wanted
a little bit summary the subject so we
start at the base my parents me
say stéphane who will never drink
but hey they did a little taboo
I broke the taboo I became
alcoholic
I had to be a cook
the other is there he told me no you’ll be
server I became a server
then we have the big gentleman who
said you’ll never be a sommelier I’m
became sommelier and also after
often told me stéphane you go but
never anything of your life because you
never cost you nobody do what
what you want and in the end I opened
my box and I managed to learn
a lot of things that I never thought
possible and exceed the limit it’s
what was it for me to surpass myself
every time and like those sentences that
puts it’s way over the limit ago
any boundary but exceeded
boundaries and could limit so we’re going
try to recreate a new one and
that ‘s really always been
engines in my life and I think that’s
which animates all so follow without either the
happiness is really always sought
to share it a maximum I am
stéphane moves says so in love thanks to
you
[Applause]
