TO BECOME A LIFESTYLE MANAGER AND A “BOUTEILLER”

Welcome to IMBA, the only Butler-Sommelier school in the world!

Did you know that the word butler is derived from the French word “bouteiller” which meant the person in charge of transferring the barrelled wine from the cask in the cellar to a container before service (a bottle or “bouteille” in French)? The butler was the estate cellar master.

This wine-related story begets two questions:

1- Would you know how to fill and compose a value-added wine cellar in conformity with an employer’s taste?

2- Would you be able to work with a chef and pair optimal wines to the suggested dishes and in accordance to the tone of the function?

IMBA students will receive an advanced Wine and Spirits curriculum.

MONTRÉAL, A UNIQUE WORLD-CLASS CITY …with panache!

Montréal (Canada) is unique. Belonging to the best cities in the world for its quality of life,

Montréal is twice as old as Canada itself. 

The unique culture blend of Montreal :

Montreal has blended through time its British and French heritage while acquiring a personality of its own, thus making it the perfect environment to establish our school.

Montreal blends British formality and French “art de vivre” and gastronomy with North-American efficiency, enriched by the welcoming Canadian character and Québec warmth.

THE DINING ROOM: GROUND ZERO FOR BUTLERS SKILLS

Would that be for a simple family meal, an important social event or the planning of an official function involving Protocol, the dining room is where the butler must naturally shine and transcend the tasks at hand.

For a butler, meals are opportunities to delight and generate those experiences that will be remembered by the employer and his guests. It is to the butler and his staff to make the time spent around the table moments of pleasure and the epitome of civility.

TO BECOME AN ESTATE MANAGER

Versatility and mastering value adding skills increase a butlers profile and raise his employment opportunities (and compensation package).

Being able to manage a fine piece of real estate requiring proper maintenance as well as overseeing improvements and repairs are very useful skills that could further distinguish a candidate.

The wine cellar in particular might be worth a fortune and must be attend to with competence and expertise.

THE IMBA LOGO DESIGN

The designer for the IMBA logo got inspired by the knight’s escutcheon and the clean lines of a cut stone.

This design was selected for its ability to suggest the noble art of service and the clean lines suggest the value a precious stone acquires when properly cut and polished.

To become a gentleman (woman) of service means to own to this quote by George Bernard Shaw “A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.”
