Seema Prasad, owner of Miel, never sought her sommelier designation, because she says that she’s more concerned with achieving excellence at her craft. A craft she indeed has perfected, earning her top honors by the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico in the motherland. This year her series of dinners featuring wines from renowned regions such as Chianti and Loire Valley sold out for good reason. So did executive chef Jason Lalacona’s sustainable seafood classes, where guests learned how to choose, butcher and cook eco-friendly fish. It’s a true cornerstone of Nashville’s culinary pride, so cheers to Miel for always raising the bar.
