The Sommelier Who Faked France: A 12-Year Wine Deception Uncorked

A near-priceless 1996 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet, worth north of $1,800 and three-quarters full, was found upright in a restaurant recycling bin - weeks after a photo had already revealed the clue that finally unmasked a twelve-year imposture. How did a sommelier who had never been to France convince colleagues, chefs, and diners she carried elite French credentials for more than a decade?
In this episode, we tell how the story unfolds from that Tuesday morning in the third week of July 2019 back through twelve years at Crestline, showing how a fabricated résumé, a laminated certificate, and an unverified purchasing system held together a deception - and what single photographic detail broke it open.
Person: Erin Dempsey
Location: Crestline restaurant, Short North, Columbus, Ohio
Date found: third week of July 2019, Tuesday morning
Bottle: 1996 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet, three-quarters full
Duration: twelve years as Crestline sommelier
- The bottle was found standing upright in a recycling bin behind Crestline in the third week of July 2019.
- The wine was a 1996 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet with retail value north of $1,800.
- Erin Dempsey was hired in spring 2007 at age thirty-one and worked as sommelier for twelve years.
- Her résumé claimed a stage in Lyon, experience in Burgundy, and an Advanced Court of Master Sommeliers certification that did not exist in the registry.
- Forty-one bottles and a foil detail visible in a photograph were central to unraveling the scheme.
