Zoltan Szabo is a Toronto-based Sommelier, wine consultant and educator.

He has done more to raise the profile of the sommelier profession than busloads of stiff, tastevin-toting wine stewards, bringing a fresh, appealing, wholly inclusive approach to sharing his enthusiasm for wine.

Zoltan has been recognized repeatedly by his colleagues, has appeared in dozens of publications and interviews and has become the poster boy of the modern sommelier: fun, confident, highly knowledgeable and down to earth. Featured on Toronto's Citytv with numerous occasions, Fairchild Television and The Food Network, he has also appeared in CBC's highly successful documentary, "Wine Confidential" along with wine personality Robert M. Parker Jr., actor - winery proprietor Dan Aykroyd and others of same stature.

Professionally, Zoltan has created and oversees many award winning wine programs for some of the finest restaurants in Toronto and abroad, garnering him accolades from the local and international media.

Member of the Wine Writers' Circle of Canada, he contributes with articles and tasting notes to a variety of prominent publications and organizations. In 2008 Wine Business International Magazine has made a reference about Zoltan Szabo as being one of the most influential Sommelier and wine professional in Canada in "Who's who in Canada" article. Today, Zoltan consults with Skyline Boutique Hotels & Resorts / Eight Wine Bar, judges nationally and internationally and speaks at wine-soaked events.
