Raise a Glass for Scott Clime
Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington
is Passionate about Passion Food Hospitality’s Own
Hollywood’s award season may be winding down, but here in Washington, DC, we’re just getting started! Fortunately, no writers’ strike will deflect from the excitement of Scott Clime as he embarks on the most prestigious award in The District — Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington’s Wine & Beverage Program of the Year.
Scott, who wears a devilish grin, tricking everyone into thinking he is barely legal to drink even though he is approaching his forties, arrived at Passion Food Hospitality in 2002 and has proven a quick study. After a decade in Oregon, Clime, who in 2002 was given the honor of Sommelier for the International Pinot Noir Celebration in Portland and who organized the first Veuve Clicquot Winemaker’s Dinner, played with the big boys of the wine and food industry. But the chance to come home and work alongside his brother [Chris Clime happens to be the chef de cuisine at Acadiana], not to mention being the wine guru of eventually four of DC’s hottest restaurants, was too tempting. One of his greatest feats was creating Ceiba’s wine list from scratch. “The people at Passion Food are great. They work hard and they are genuinely interested in learning as much as they can. That makes my job easier.”
Clime’s intensive monthly “Wine 101” employee course at each of the Passion Food Hospitality restaurants educates the entire group of servers on the complexity, structure and tastes of wine while suggesting ways of recommending pairings of select wines to each diner. He also teaches a quarterly “Wine Components” Class to the public at DC Coast as well as “Tasting” classes such as his “Rum Tasting” Class at Ceiba and “Bourbon Tasting” Class at Acadiana. With his credentials as a gifted sommelier on his way to obtaining an advanced status, his knowledge and expertise have allowed him to customize wine lists based on the cuisine specific to the restaurant.
Scott Clime has the passion for the Wine & Beverage Program at Passion Food Hospitality and DC diners are all the better for his knowledge and enthusiasm, which he serves with every bottle he and his well-trained servers pour. On Sunday June 29, 2008 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C., Scott hopes to carry his corkscrew in one hand and a RAMMY in the other! Bottoms up!
