i. Biography
Edouard Oger built a career in the high-pressure service environment of fine dining, where cellar work is judged by timing, consistency, and how cleanly a pairing supports the table. He started as a commis sommelier in Michelin-starred restaurants in France, then moved through head-sommelier roles before taking on course leadership with the Court of Master Sommeliers.
Coming Up
CCI Maine et Loire gave Oger the technical base that later carried into restaurant service and exam work. The training suited a profession built on structure as much as palate: tasting, recall, repetition, and close attention to detail. Years spent in Michelin-starred restaurants then turned that foundation into practical fluency in wine service, the kind that can be used both on the floor and in the classroom.
Where They Are Now
Course Co-Ordinator for Court of Master Sommeliers Europe is the role Oger holds today, with Course Coordinator and Exam Admissions for Court of Master Sommeliers, Americas added in 2016. Those posts place him close to the mechanics of sommelier training, from the course structure candidates work through to the admissions process that governs exam access. That dual remit reflects a career shaped by service standards and assessment. The same discipline that matters in a Michelin-starred dining room now underpins his work in sommelier education on both sides of the Atlantic, where precision in process carries the same weight as precision in service.
Honors
Certified Sommelier in 2005 marked a key credential in Oger’s trade record. By then, the technical side of the work had already been built through service in Michelin-starred restaurants and head-sommelier roles in the United Kingdom, giving that certification the weight of experience rather than theory alone.
