FOOD WINE
THE RETAILING OF WINE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO FOOD IS AN ARTFO AND REQUIRES A WORLD OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPIRIENCE. THE CUSTOMER EXPECTS THE CORRECT INFORMATION WHEN SELECTING THE RIGHT WINE FOR ANY MEAL.
When helping customers to decide on a wine, a display of surety and confidence will kee them comfortable and happy. It helps to engage with your customer, asking which variet styles, flavours and countries of origin they prefer. Make gentle recommendations to complement their meal, but don’t oversell, and never offer a house brand. The choice mu be firmly in the consumer’s hands. When making suggestions, it’s useful to remember which wines and foods go well togeth For celebrations with light snacks, Champagne and other sparkling wines are the usual preference. White wines go well with seafood dishes. Red wines complement similarly coloured foods, like red meats and dishes in tomato sauce, and also, along with rosés, perfectly supplement a cheese board.
Before serving, make sure that all glasses are spotless. When pouring, never hold your customer’s glass by the bowl: the stem is your handle; everything above it belongs to the drinker.
Always remember that white, rosé and sparkling wines must be served chilled (7-13°c), and reds at room temperature (13-18°c). Chilled wines should be pre-chilled before being brought to the bar fridges; reds should never be served directly from the ce

SPARKLING WINE
Wines with bubbles are associated, for many people, primarily with festivities and celebrations. More precious and complicated to make than still wines, they have traditionally been considered as occasional extravagances. With higher acidity, more delicate flavour, their unique palate tingle and lower alcohol than most table wines, are however, some of the most versatile wines to accompany food.

The Wine Industry in New Zealand has to thank the EEC. When the UK joined in 1973 they had to terminate existing trade terms for NZ meat and dairy, resulting in the Kiwis diversifying to growing commodities with potentially higher returns. As a result this country is now hailed as one of the Worlds Fine Wine Producers. A mere juvenile in wine making terms New Zealand has over taken some of the old masters with exquisite Sauvignon Blancs and memorable Pinot Noirs.

PORTUGAL
Modern Portuguese wine export trade developed with England after the Methuen Treaty in 1703. After this a wide variety of wines started to be grown in Portugal. These varieties contribute to wine differentiation, producing distinctive wines from the Northern regions to Madeira Islands, and from Algarve to the Azores.

PORTUGAL
THOMAS REYNOLDS AN ENGLISH SEAMAN AND MERCHANT, ARRIVED IN PORTUGAL IN 1820, ATTRACTED BY THE POTENTIAL OF THE WINE TRADE. THUS STARTED THE LONG ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PORTUGAL AND GREAT BRITAIN OF IMPORTING WONDERFULLY FRUITY RED WINES FROM THE GLORIOUS MOUNTAIN REGION OF THE ALTO ALENTEJO. It is a proud family tradition that the wines carry the family names. Julian Reynolds Estate Reserva Red has the honour of scoring 92/100 points on the famous Robert Parker Scale whilst the ‘second’ wine named after his grandfather and son Carlos Reynolds comes very close at 88/100. These wines are a little more ‘special and different’ to the usual run of the mill wines found on most wine lists, but can still be purchased at reasonable prices in order to offer your ‘adventurous’ wine consumers something wonderful and new to try. The vineyard is set in the Alto Alentejo in a place of immense beauty. The one hundred acres of vines are planted on the hilltop, which provides excellent sunlight and drainage critical for the production of quality grapes. Julian and Carlos pay particular care and invest heavily in order to produce the finest grapes possible. They use the viticultural techniques of ‘Vendange en Vert’ ie Green Harvesting in order to reduce the yields of young grapes so that the fruit flavours are concentrated into the remaining bunches and Night-Time harvesting ie when the fruit is at its optimal ripeness, the pickers pick the grapes in the cool night-time temperatures in order for the grapes to retain acidity and fruit balance and to delay fermentation until the fruit reach the winery. These are expensive in time and labour, but are required to produce great wine. If you’ve not ventured into the wines of the Alentejo then this is a great place to start. Enjoy the first step on your journey with Julian Reynolds. A taste of Portugal. PORTUGAL
