John
Lancaster, Wine Director
John
Lancaster, Boulevard sommelier, manages a 500-item
wine list and maintains cellars
in two locations. The essential aspect of his wine program, though, is service.
Lancaster, who joined the Boulevard team in 1997 after working at the Cypress
Club,
tries to visit each table in the dining room during the course of the evening.
"My role in the dining experience is to provide that extra level
of service," says
Lancaster.
" At Boulevard, we want to offer a dining experience our customers
cannot
create on their own.
We want them to return again and again, so we have a wine list that works."
