Vancouver, BC, November 17, 2025 – Le Crocodile by Rob Feenie is excited to announce Andrew Forsyth as its new wine director. A well-respected Vancouver-based sommelier and recipient of the 2025 CAPS Best Sommelier of British Columbia title, Forsyth brings a refined palate, expertise, and a guest-focused approach to the downtown contemporary French restaurant. He officially joins the team on November 18, 2025.
Most recently, Forsyth led the acclaimed wine program at Michelin Guide-recommended L’Abattoir. During his tenure, he guided the list to achieve a Platinum Wine Program Excellence Award at the 2024 Vancouver International Wine Festival. Forsyth earned his Certified Sommelier credential from the Court of Master Sommeliers in 2019 and holds WSET Level 3 (with Merit).
“Andrew’s track record speaks for itself,” says Chef Rob Feenie. “He is a talented and dedicated sommelier, and his achievements reflect not only his technical mastery but also his passion for hospitality and mentorship. We look forward to having him lead our wine program at Le Crocodile by Rob Feenie.”
Forsyth began his wine journey while working at the Alberni Street Keg Steakhouse and Bar, where he first enrolled in Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) courses. After passing his Certified Sommelier exam with the Court of Master Sommeliers in May 2019, he joined L’Abattoir as a sommelier. That same year, he also represented Canada at the Wines of South Africa Sommelier Cup in Cape Town.
“It’s an honour to join Chef Feenie and the team to build a wine program that complements its contemporary French menu,” says Forsyth. “My goal is to create a list which will not only celebrate the classics, but also champion unique and up-and-coming producers in the wine world.”
Le Crocodile by Rob Feenie is open Tuesday through Friday for lunch service from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and seven days a week for dinner service from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Reservations can be made online at .
