elcome to the latest edition of Far North Queensland Restaurant & Caterer Magazine, a new decade, a new adventure and hopefully time for the industry to regroup after 2019 which was, to say the least tumultuous. From the very beginning with floods, then moving on drought, then settling into fires, it was harsh. In our industry, there seemed as many iconic casualties as new ventures were coming to fruition. It was definitely a time of change, for some reflection and for others growth. But as of any year, the overall message remains the same, good food, good service and local markets, both for custom and supply, are the underwriters of success. We are seeing development in smallbatch local production, in everything from mushrooms to gin and with it the continued global interest in what regions have to offer by way of unique food and beverage. This product introspection reflects a well established global trend for food tourism, it may not be the primary driver for visitors, but it remains an extra dimension for almost any destination. However, for all its merits and growth, the marketing of food tourism feels somewhat, err, undernourished here in the FNQ. So for 2020, we want you to join us as we begin our crusade to put FNQ F&B on the map, and not just as an afterthought to support our famous geography. We have some of the most diverse, ancient, exciting and unique local produce here, and more and more kitchens are using these as ingredients to create stunning and regionally exclusive output. Let’s go forward into the next decade with 20/20 vision and here’s wishing you a happy, and prosperous new year!

FNQ New to You In 2019 we sadly bade farewell to a number of well-known food outlets, including the longstanding favourites Bel Paese and APEX Milk Bar. The overall consensus is that it’s been a tough year, a downturn in tourism numbers and the flowon effect that has in the local economy. Bill O’Rourke owner of Apex, stated the financial strains are what finally drove him into closing the restaurant. He was quick to thank all the many customers and staff for their support over the last five years.

Welcome to Buffalo’s Burgers Wings & Things, their new franchise opened at Smithfield after a rapid fitout at the old Billy’s Field site. The family-orientated outlet includes a range from Wings to Pizzas and features a gelato and dessert bar ‘Sweetstampede’. This is the third in the chain to open and is a great addition to the busy Smithfield dining precinct.

Another recent opening is Crytsalbrook Collection’s Bailey, and their signature restaurant CC’s Bar and Grill. The restaurant features steak which comes directly from Crystalbrook Station (three-hours from Cairns). CC’s celebrates the best of Australian produce and looks to showcase local ingredients. Still under the watchful eye of Crystalbrook combined Executive Chef Rod Zamora, CC’s is headed up by Matthew Larter - Chef de Cuisine and Mark Sinclair - Restaurant Manager. Crystalbrook’s final chapter, Flynn, is set to open in February and will bring with it three new food outlets, including an Italian, and Whisky & Wine bar.

The Far North Queensland Designated Area Migration Agreement (FNQ DAMA) covering the Cassowary Coast, the Tablelands, Mareeba, Cairns and the Douglas Shire came into being in the middle of 2019, and has recently seen its first successful hospitality applications. The DAMA is a type of labour agreement which allows employers to sponsor skilled and semi-skilled overseas workers in positions which they are unable to fill with locally available workers. The Cairns Chamber of Commerce has been appointed by the Department of Home Affairs to be the Designated Area Representative (DAR) and can be contacted for further information. Employers can nominate workers for Subclass 482 visas, who will be able to progress to permanent residence once the normal requirements for transitioning to permanent residency are met, e.g. three years with the same employer.

In the final quarter of 2019, FNQ Media launched its new dedicated digital marketing agency FLAMBÉ. Bringing together decades of marketing and hospitality experience, Flambé will be providing digital marketing solutions for food and beverage businesses across Queensland.

LOCAVORIOUS A Chef’s Journey with

Marcel Stammeier By Sharon Timms

Marcel Stammeier, executive chef of the newly refurbished restaurant Harbourside Bar + Kitchen, is checking out the herb garden at the front of the restaurant. The chocolate mint and the native Australian lemongrass are of particular interest. “It’s like an after dinner mint in a plant,” says Marcel excitedly. “Before coming to Australia, I’d never seen anything like this. It’s very tasty with the chocolate flavour a very subtle undertone,” the chef says, who uses the herb in a dessert dish with locally sourced Daintree chocolate and Mareeba dates. “The native lemongrass is also quite fascinating – South East Asian cooking obviously uses lemongrass grown there; the Australian lemongrass naturally has a similar flavour, but is a little more herbaceous, sightly savoury.” The childlike wonder of following this German chef around an Australian native herb garden onsite in a tropical regional hotel is infectious. Without a doubt, the ‘slower’ movement of food – eating what’s in season, eating sustainably, ethically and intentionally – is here to stay. Chefs around the world are increasingly emphasising the use of fresh, local, organic, seasonal and sustainable foods, focusing on a produce-driven menu with the influence of diverse international cuisines. An integral

FNQ Restaurant and Caterer Issue 4_Master File.indd 7

part of this movement is, of course, the producers. Farmers play a big part in being able to supply chefs with consistent produce. Chefs are asking more of their suppliers to source new and exciting products to cook with. Being able to cook with new and specifically locally sourced produce means that our chefs have more knowledge and freedom to explore new techniques, new recipes, and new cuisines. Thanks to the appointment of Marcel Stammeier, Harbourside Bar + Kitchen is an ode to local produce. With a menu that is representative of its paddock-to-plate ethos, highlights include Bingil Bay beef cheeks, Atherton Tableland vegetables and a locally made Italian-styled porchetta with an Australian flavour twist. In addition, this ethos extends to the bar as well – Harbourside Bar + Kitchen houses a wine and spirits lists that is predominantly local, organic and environmentally sustainable, making this the only venue north of Brisbane to have this as their specific focus. Additionally, Australia has the world’s third largest fishing zone and is one of the world’s largest red meat exporters, which guarantees a wide availability of fresh local seafood and beef for our chefs. ‘Australia has some of the best seafood and beef, most other countries pay a high price to have

30 Dec 2019 1:17:37 PM

it available to them”, says Marcel. “The fact that some of the country’s best seafood and beef is found right here on our doorstep in North Queensland is remarkable – often overlooked, even by local chefs, but that tide is slowly changing.” Arriving in Australia on holiday, Stammeier did what most young, passionate chefs do and worked a number of stages in various kitchens around the country before finally deciding to call Cairns his home. Thirteen years later, he is still here and still enchanted by everything the tropics has to offer. “I grew up on a family farm in Germany with dairy and beef cattle as well as pigs and was exposed to home-style cooking and sourcing homegrown produce from very early on,” he reminisces. “Working with my grandmother in her kitchen when I was little was one of my first cooking experiences . One of the first dishes I ever learnt to make was traditional German meatballs - all the different flavours and the harmony of those flavours on the plate. I still make them exactly the same way she taught me, except these days I use a little extra celery salt - but don’t tell her that! “Even though we’re in a tropical climate, there is a little bit of my home on this menu. We make our own German sausages for the bar menu, the beef cheeks are a traditional recipe garnished with German red cabbage, and we also have my Grandma’s recipe for apple strudel on the menu too.” While Marcel believes chef and farmer go hand in hand, more crucially, he sees it as the next chapter in the food story. “Sustainability is so important. When I was growing up, we only used what was available and in season. These days you can have whatever you want whenever you want, but is that actually a good

FNQ Restaurant and Caterer Issue 4_Master File.indd 8

thing? We’ve talked about local and seen how it’s changed food culture in restaurants and home kitchens,” he says. “Next it’s about trying to create sustainable, regenerative systems, locally. “It’s important to look at the provenance of food, how far it’s travelled to get to your plate. At HBK, our ethos is to remain as truly local as possible and using products that are sustainable. No point in eating something rare, and then it’s all gone, right? We have plenty of the world’s best produce in our back yard to be inspired by. “Seasonality is, of course, a huge driving factor for all produce we use here - discussions with farmers start about three months before we set our menu. Using fresh herbs out of the garden is something that is so simple and so effective. We have our own kitchen garden here at HBK, and we use it daily. We are almost in full swing mango season now. We have world class pineapples in Mareeba – juicy, and more pineapple flavour than I have ever experienced. Strawberries are freshly picked from the farm just outside of Atherton, seafood straight from the ocean, grass fed beef from lush green fields south of Cairns. Australian native herbs and South East Asian fruit and vegetables that aren’t found anywhere else in the world. Tropical North Queensland definitely has its own palate.”

has been lovingly embraced to showcase on the menu. “Native finger limes are absolutely extraordinary,” marvels Marcel. “I had never seen anything like this before. Now we use it in many dishes, and we even use it as a garnish for drinks in the bar. The bar is also a testament to local produce – for example, we use Mt Uncle Distillery spirits (from the Atherton Tablelands). A classic gin and tonic garnished with fresh and candied finger lime is amazing. And seafood? Easily the best in the world. “In general, we certainly do our very best at HBK to show guests interesting and versatile dishes that create a bit of excitement for them, like crocodile linguini tossed with lemon myrtle oil. In Australia, there are so many culinary experiences that aren’t found anywhere else – lobsters that you can choose yourself are unheard of in Europe. Mud crabs from the Gulf of Carpentaria are sold on the side of the road. Prawns are freshly collected off local trawlers. How good is that? These are unique to this part of the world, so of course I want to show them off – it’s my passion and my privilege.” Harbourside Bar & Kitchen 209-217 The Esplanade Cairns 40803015

Native ingredients have undergone a mass resurgence in recent years, with restaurants at the top end of Australian dining such as Brae (Vic), Attica (Vic), Bennelong (NSW) and locally Ochre Restaurant, incorporating Australian native plants in their culinary offerings. It’s a far cry from the ‘bush tucker’ movement of the 1990s that resulted in native foods’ ultimate demise through mass exposure and kitschy delivery.

With more than 16 years’ local experience, Adam started out on the brush and is highly qualified in traditional signwriting as well as being completely conversant with new forms of technology. “I started out at Tollys Signs, which at the time was the biggest sign company in Cairns. I completed a four year apprenticeship and went on to work with the company for eleven years. “I always knew at some point I would have my own company, and when the time came ‘Tolly’, my former boss wished me the very best, and with the support of my wife and family I made Inspired Signs a reality. We’ve been going strong for seven years now,” says Adam. “At Inspired we try to not set any boundaries on what’s possible and have a passion for projects outside the box, so to speak.

of customers but also for your licensed venue. Most contraventions reported revolve around lack of knowledge rather than deliberate contravention.

When advertising and promoting gaming for your venue, you need to do so responsibly and in keeping with obligations under the Gaming Machine Act 1991 and practices within Queensland’s Responsible Gambling Code of Practice.

The most important areas to focus on include ensuring your advertising and promotions involving gaming:

As soon as you add Acts and Codes everything seems to feel more complicated and intimidating but the legislation isn’t something to be scared of just to be aware of, after all it is there not only for the protection

• are not indecent or offensive • are based on fact • are not false, deceptive or misleading • are not dominated by gaming, and • incorporate responsible gambling messages, where applicable. We recommend you to become familiar with all

the legislative obligations and Code of Practice expectations before you implement any advertising campaigns for gaming at your venue. The Business Queensland website www. business.qld.gov.au provides in depth details, plus a helpful refresher course to get you up to speed complying with the law for gaming advertising and promotions. Check out our next edition, where we will include an article showing examples of compliant advertisements and ones you should avoid. Let’s all work together to ensure the gaming industry fosters a culture of responsible gambling.

BE AWARE OF FALSE RSA CERTIFICATES The Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation are aware false Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training course certificates have been provided to employees in the industry. It appears these certificates were provided to overseas agencies responsible for lodging skilled visas, including the Subclass 407 Training Visa. They are then lodged as part of a full visa application and as

supporting documentation for the relevant visa subclass. The certificates are provided to host organisations or sponsors, in this case hotels or restaurants, to allow the individual to start work or training that involves serving or supplying alcohol. In some instances, individuals are unaware the training provider used was not accredited and that they have been provided with false documents. When assessing if RSA certifications you receive are legitimate, you must ensure: the training was delivered

by a registered training organisation, and it is a Statement of Attainment (statements issued interstate are valid). A Statement of Attainment does not have an expiry date. If you need help to determine if the documents you receive are legitimate, you can contact the approved trainer listed on the certificate.

DIGITAL SIGNAGE Words by Wayne Lavis, Omega Technologies

Running a business? Think you’ve missed the boat with regards to digital advertising? Not a chance. Digital advertising is the use of screens to show off your business via a screen – most often TV’s at your venue. Those super-bright, tacky signs that have been permeating the streets for a decade or more, spruiking everything from T-Bone Tuesday on a slightly-on-the-fritz pink neon sign, to a massive 16-screen video wall telling everyone how awesome the upcoming <insert local hero> boxing fight is going to be – particularly with your <insert drinks specials here>, well, they’re all now available for a pittance.

Don’t get me wrong – if you want a 4x4 Video screen that might be mistaken for a load-bearing wall as you walk by it, you’re going to have to pay for the technology (in this case, 16 TV’s!), but if you’re just after a few screens to display your menus? Cheap as chips. Want to tell your guests about an upcoming promotion as they check in? Chicken feed. Like all things in this current digital world, you can buy in to Digital Signage at any price point. And you don’t have to do it based on putting an image on a USB stick and hoping it works…. Assuming you’ve got an internet-enabled site (and who hasn’t?), you can add a tiny box to manage your signage. From it, you’ll be able to send an image, series of images, or a video, to any of your controlled screens, from any device: mobile phone, computer, iPad, etc. You don’t have

FNQ Restaurant and Caterer Issue 4_Master File.indd 16

30 Dec 2019 1:17:47 PM

to be at the site: it can be done from anywhere, and quickly. Updating your menu pricing? Change and send with a click. A new promo? Load and send. Then the fun stuff starts. Scheduling makes Digital Signage so much more dynamic than printed media. So your restaurant has breakfast, lunch and dinner services? Why not have your TV’s display your breakfast menu at breakfast? With your daily special appearing every minute or so. When that’s over, switch to some other promotion images whilst you’re waiting for the lunch service to start. Automatically, with no staff interaction required, have the specials pop up every 30 seconds (automatically) as required. When you’re not serving, push your advertising – either yours, or local partners! Pushing a show or special event? Offering “kids dine free” or driving a Mother’s Day or a New Year’s Recovery Special?! Put that into your advertising rotation, all whilst your customers are looking at the menu: you’re letting them know about what else your venue is offering whilst they’re deciding what to order. This near-instant ability to change your

FNQ Restaurant and Caterer Issue 4_Master File.indd 17

advertising is fantastic. Happy Hour at 5pm? Flash it on your bar screens automatically. If you’ve run out of Pork Loin? The Chef can have the special deleted in moments, with no customer complaints. On the Hospitality and Convention side of signage, it becomes even more of a no-brainer. We moved a conference centre over from printed signage recently. No more printing dozens of directional signage and room identification posters each morning, and then running around putting them up (and hoping the trainee gets them in the right order). Now, they fill out the template and send to the TV’s in a few moments. It’s a huge time saver up front, but the ability to modify something nearly instantly is what makes it so appealing. And the cost? A Fusion Media Player costs $349, and the licensing adds less than $2 a week per screen. Probably less than the ink cartridges you’re using now?

Words by Jodie Ferrero

Coral Coast Seafoods offer a full range of Far North Queensland seafood, caught locally and delivered in the Cairns area or freighted door to door around Australia. Working closely with a number of local fishermen, Owner/Operator of Coral Coast Seafoods, Dominic Martinez proudly partners with the Davies family, owners of the FV Wildcard, to offer some of the best Spanish Mackerel on the market, so special in fact that customers request it by name! “I also deal directly with Barramundi fishermen from the Gulf of Carpentaria and Gulf trawl companies with sustainable fishing practices,” says Dominic. Being a small operation with low overheads, Coral Coast Seafoods can supply quality seafood lines at competitive prices with a strong focus on individual customer needs. Dominic has strong industry associations, having started out 27 years ago, with peers and partnerships across Australia and New Zealand and drawing on knowledge and expertise from fishermen in the game for many generations. From humble beginnings, unloading east coast trawlers and processing seafood in Townsville, Dominic went on to purchase a couple of retail shops with his then business partner. “We also did catering and functions for the Townsville City Council and variety of events like weddings with gigs we got from the then Mayor Tony Mooney, who would often have them at his residence for large groups of people. He was a great entertainer and we really enjoyed that relationship. It exposed us to a vast cross-section of delegations and dignitaries from around the world and it opened up many opportunities.” Coral Coast Seafoods supplies to food venues right across the far north region and also to retailers and wholesalers in every state in Australia with the exception of Western Australia. With the same loyal customers for over a decade and capacity to supply new clients, Dominic prides himself on providing a personal touch with his customer service and maintains constant contact with his clients, particularly locally, visiting their kitchens and cold rooms every other week to ensure orders are received and expectations are met and exceeded.

FOODWASTE TO A USABLE RESOURCE – COMPOST By Tina O’Hagan

TINA O’HAGAN- HOLOHAN FOODSERVICE CONSULTANCY TINA O’HAGAN has a long and distinguished career within the food and hospitality industry. With over 35 years of experience which has seen her hold many senior management positions in Hospitality Management and Directorships with two design manufacturers of catering equipment in London and Ireland, before setting up her own businesses. Tina moved from Northern Ireland to Cairns in September 2018 after getting married and has now set up her home and her foodservice/food waste consultancy business here in Cairns. She is an expert in her field and offers specialist advice to all sectors of the food, drink and hospitality industry, including public sector bodies. Tina is recognized as a leading-edge industrial kitchen designer for capital equipment. She is a foodservice & waste management consultant, design project manager, sales and business mentor and is the first person, and the only woman, in Ireland to hold the Platinum CFSP certificate (Certified Foodservice Professional), and is ranked in the top five people in Europe to have achieved this. Tina devotes her special interest to business startups, SME’s community groups, (some looking for direction or to diversify) and those sole artisan traders who require a “turn-key” approach to their food production journey . From incubation to fruition, her consultancy services provide direction and encouragement with product and growth strategies to transform inspirational ideas into workable, marketable realities. Her food waste consultancy has seen Tina work with Professor Sue Grimes from the Imperial College London who helped develop the food waste station equipment for IMC manufacturers. She has delivered food waste solutions for large volume catering institutions like Hospitals, Schools, Prisons, Airports, Universities, Hotels, food manufacturing, as well as small to medium businesses like restaurants coffee shops, not for profit organizations and community hubs, and many other outlets that needed a solution for their foodwaste. Tina is a board member of committee for waste reduction in Cairns (CFWR). Tina can be contacted on 0476524738 Email: tinaohagan98@gmail.com

The Australian Government estimates food waste costs the Australian economy $20 billion each year. Over 5 million tonnes of food ends up as landfill, enough to fill 9,000 Olympic sized swimming pools. One in five shopping bags end up in the bin equaling $3,800 worth of groceries per household each year is wasted preparing and consuming food. Food waste ends up consuming nearly a quarter of our water

supply in the form of uneaten food or over $172 billion in wasted water. When food is disposed in a landfill it rots and becomes a significant source of methane – a potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. We have to take collective responsibility for creating food waste and become more aware of our attitude and actions how to reduce and manage it.

However change is occurring, information is filtering through. The more aware of these problems we are them more we see habits, action and legislation drive to more positive outcomes. There have been great strides made over the last few years on waste in general from plastic, food, electrical to paper, although more action is required and it's simple and easy to get started.

FNQ Restaurant and Caterer Issue 4_Master File.indd 20

30 Dec 2019 1:17:49 PM

There are numerous off-theshelf programmes, equipment and processes that are available now and have proven case studies that work to reduce food waste. One of these modalities that I have had 15 years experience selling into the hospitality industry is the IMC food waste station. This takes food waste, raw and cooked, through a macerator, de-water, invessel aerobic drum and creates a resource â&#x20AC;&#x201C; compost. This eliminates the need for any carbon footprint and any waste going to landfill. And compost is a fabulous resource great for growing veggies! This off-the-shelf system is now available in Australia. It's best practice in your business to understand what and how much food you are wasting. Weekly audits are a great starting point. Weigh your kitchen food waste and set targets for improvement. Inevitably there will always be some amount of food waste like onion skins and potatoes skin however majority of it can be controlled.

FOOD WASTE FACTS Did you know that 65 percent of food waste is created during the preparation of food. For example, peeling vegetables, creates food waste. 30 percent food waste comes from what is left on our plates

FNQ Restaurant and Caterer Issue 4_Master File.indd 21

after customers have had enough to eat (large buffets are the main culprits here, with diners eyes bigger than there bellies )! 5 percent of food waste is wasted through spoilage for example burning or dropping food in the kitchen so we are unable to serve it. Another contributing factor is overbuying food and it not being used within the

recommended shelf life and therefore in most cases it is unusable.

How to get the perfect Jus - everytime!

The Bone Roastersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story begins back in 2007, with a vision to bring consistency, convenience and cost-effectiveness to the sometimes messy and definitely space and timeconsuming production of premium stocks and jus. Over this time Bone Roasters has developed a range of products that cover the majority of applications for stocks, jus and glaces and have achieved a level of quality suitable for even the most high-end and demanding kitchens. The founding principle was to take the best ingredients, methods and equipment to create an outstanding product. But to organise this on scale where even this premium product could be competitively priced and accessible to all.

The complete range of Bone Roasters products are produced using real bones and only the very best carefully selected ingredients. Stocks are rendered in traditional open kettles, with the entire process overseen by qualified chefs and are made with all care and attention to detail expected of a premium product. Slow simmering ensures the maximum amount of real flavour is absorbed from each of our ingredients, resulting in an intense taste profile and natural product colours. Nothing artificial or unexpected is added to products to maintain an extremely high standard of quality. The results speak, or taste, for themselves, not only is this a consistent product but one that would be difficult to beat even in your own kitchen.

FNQ Restaurant and Caterer Issue 4_Master File.indd 24

30 Dec 2019 1:17:52 PM

Once prepared, the resultant products are bagged and snap-frozen in handy 2.5-litre pouches. The frozen product can be cut and portioned and used only when required; the fast freeze process also ensures the contents will taste as good as the day they were made.

experience highlights the benefits of using their products, with considerable savings in everything from time, energy, space, product sourcing and wasteage, along with less obvious, including the importance of maintaining a consistent output and portion control in a busy kitchen.

The range consists of Veal, Beef and Chicken Stocks, Jus and Glace. The company declares itself as proudly Australian owned and all products Australian made, priding itself in working with many of Australia and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading restaurants and food providers.

Overall Bone Roasters range offers superior products combined with real consistency that is needed for a busy kitchen, ensuring you can rely on the same high-quality outcome each and every time.

They work closely with many of their customers to understand the real challenges that kitchens face when producing high-quality meals at a premium level. This

Old World v New World Wines Words by The Barefoot Drinker

Australia is blessed with a diversity of geography, climate and soils. We can pretty much grow any wine variety and produce any style of that variety that we want. When you stop and think about it you realise we are pretty spoiled for choice. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you throw one of our high end reds up against a red from its native homeland, that you get to see the difference between whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referred to as Old Wine and New World wines.

It might seem like an oldfashioned view, especially in this day of immediate communication via vast distances and social media, but there is quite a stylistic difference between the New World and Old World wines. For example if you made a Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend from Australia, and then using the exact same methods and blend ratios from Bordeaux in France it would taste similar but not the same. This comes down to climate and soil

differences between the two countries. In wine terms Old World refers to the ancient countries where the wine originated from, the style was born and culturally ingrained. Essentially we are talking about Europe and the Middle East. Places like France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Armenia, Spain or Portugal to name a few. Whilst New World wines were the wines created from the exploration of the globe. When immigrants arrived clutching their cuttings on the shores of USA, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina for example. The style of an Old World wine is typically what we would call a cool climate style (of course there will

FNQ Restaurant and Caterer Issue 4_Master File.indd 28

30 Dec 2019 1:17:56 PM

always be exceptions). In most of those old world sites the fruit struggles to ripen fully because of the colder weather. This results in fruit that is lighter in style, the fruit is more restrained, higher in acid and lower in alcohol. All of which gives that style of wine great, very long term aging potential. But it’s not all about the soil and sun. Culture, tradition and laws play a significant role in the production of Old World wines. In many areas, the production of wine is actually subjected to local regulations and laws that dictate to the

grower precisely what sort of wine can be made, and how that wine can be made. However New World winemakers aren’t troubled by such regulations and laws, they are free to experiment and play with the wines like mad scientists. And while New World producers celebrate local regions (eg Barossa or Yarra Valley), they tend to champion the variety of the grape grown from the region, for example, the Yarra valley being championed for Pinot Noir, Margaret River for Cabernet. It’s also worth noting that New World producers will refer to

their wine by variety, Old World producers refer to their wine by geographic region, eg what we would call Sauvignon Blanc, would be referred to as a Sancerre the area of the Loire Valley in France that is best known for the style; Pinot Noir here is known as Burgundy in Old World terms. There is no hard and fast winner between Old and New World when choosing at the same price points. The real choice is up to you, the consumer, it’s what style you prefer, the big fruit driven New World style, or the clean classic Old World style.
