Betts, Richard. Dreamy, swishy-haired, new-paradigm Master Sommelier who serves as the wine director at the Little Nell, a swank Aspen inn and resort. The antithesis of the imperious, tastevin-wearing sommerlier of yore, Betts, a mountain biker and trained geologist, exudes a hempy, Perry Farrell-ish looseness and cultivates envy among year-round restaurant floor-patrollers by not only overseeing a Grand Award-winning list but also enjoying a six-months-long off-season during which he makes private-label wines in France, Australia, and elsewhere.
