Steven Roberto
is Upperline's consulting wine director. Although a winemaker by training,
Steven enjoys the pleasure of tracking down evocative wines in step
with the cuisine of his restaurant clients.
"Helping the
consumer discover and appreciate some of the world's most fascinating
wines is my greatest pleasure," Steven says.
An unabashed
proponent of New Orleans cuisine, Steven takes great care to consider
the interaction of wine and food. "One of the joys of working with Upperline
is their whimsical touch with the classic Creole cuisine of New Orleans.
While they stay true to the basics, they are not afraid to experiment.
This encourages me to go the extra distance in acquiring interesting
and valued selections, while still retaining classical choices with
depth and breadth."
