Meet Jennifer Huether, Canada’s first female master sommelier

There are currently around 180 master sommeliers in the entire world, just three of which are from Canada. Toronto’s Jennifer Huether is the latest addition. She earned the distinction earlier this month, becoming the first female in the country – and one of the very few in the world – to do so.

Previously a sommelier at establishments like North 44 and Ruth’s Chris Steak House, she’s now the head sommelier at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (including e11even restaurant). It took her six years to get the accolade, and we caught up with her to talk about the journey.

How did you decide that you wanted to dedicate a good portion of your life to wine?
It was back in the late 90s. I have a good friend and chef, Av Atikian [of JAMcafé], who has a passion for wine. We were chatting one day and I said I didn’t like white wine, so he made a bunch of little dishes and he paired them perfectly with wine. And I was just floored. I couldn’t believe it. So I started doing little courses at George Brown, just out of interest, and I realized this is actually an avenue you can take. It’s endless, the amount you can learn about wine.
