Ask a Somm !

20


20 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted May 24, 2017

You’re planning a romantic date, a superb home-cooked meal made with love. Now, for the wine… what wine should you choose? What goes best with pasta? With lobster or shrimp? Sweet wine, or dry? What if you pick the wrong one, and it ruins the mood?

Relax, Ask a Somm!

Tell me what you’ll be eating, an I’ll help you select the perfect drink to compliment your meal.

You have a fancy bottle of wine and want to do it justice, but you’re not quite sure what foods would work best with it. You could wing it, or you could…

Ask a Somm!

I can take the name on the label and help you decide how to layer it with a delicious and suitable dish or dishes.

You were gifted with a beautiful bottle of wine, and were told it was a dessert wine. (Or any type, for that matter.) Does that mean you can only drink it after a meal, with dessert? Or in lieu of dessert? Or only with a sweet meal? Oh, the choices!

Ask a Sommelier, and be confident in your presentation.

It’s your wedding – Christmas – Thanksgiving – anniversary. You want to celebrate in style, but you’re not sure the high-priced bottle is worth the expense. Should you pay a lot and hope it’s good, or go with something at the halfway mark and hope no one looks at the label?

Never fear - I can help you select the best drinks, based on your needs and budget.

Would you just like to know more about wine, grape varietal, wine region, or other details of the industry, so you can order with confidence at any restaurant?

I will answer every wine-related question you have

Just Ask a Somm!
