Sometimes, not opened ahead of time, a blockbuster will only show its best when you re about to finish the bottle. This gesture really enhances an evening. Many of you already know restaurants that have a creative and up to the moment wine list. Soon, newcomers will discover these places for themselves. Ask for a place with superior food AND wine, with a sommelier to give you memorable recommendations.
Variety is bliss.
I m for every restaurant of high aspirations to have a sommelier or the wine buyer on the premises during dinner hours. Lacking that, a good, edifying description of a wine, its weight, dryness and a thumbnail flavor description should follow each choice on the list. Bouquet of leather, meat, and beets. I know it sounds odd, but is extremely attractive. Ripe, spicy and balanced with a Muhammad Ali heavyweight grace.
