Wine Decanting – Why it Matters. Wine decanting in a restaurant is essential for several reasons. It allows the wine to breathe, enhancing its aromas and flavors for a better drinking experience. Decanting also removes sediment, ensuring a clean glass of wine. Additionally, decanting adds a visual element, showcasing the restaurant's attention to presentation. It also helps to control the wine's temperature, optimizing flavors and aromas, ultimately improving the overall wine service experience for customers. Overall, wine decanting is an important step in serving wine in a restaurant as it helps to improve the overall drinking experience for customers and showcases the care and attention to detail that the restaurant puts into their wine service. #TriMarkUnitedEast #TriMarkShowcaseVideos

3 common mistakes when ordering wine The wine lists at all restaurants can be overwhelming, but even more so at fancier, more expensive restaurants! But I have a few key tips to ease your anxiety and help you order the perfect wine every time. 1️⃣ Use your sommelier’s expertise: if the restaurant you are ordering from has a sommelier, then you are in for a treat, as they typically know the history of the wines and wineries on their list. So, never be afraid to ask for help! 2️⃣ Focusing Only on Price: a lot of us, maybe not to seem cheap, order the second-cheapest bottle — a mistake. 3️⃣ Try pairing with your main course: When you’re looking over the wine list, try to consider your main course and how the wine will enhance your meal. Avoid these common mistakes and elevate your dining experience. Have you made any of these mistakes? Share in the comments and follow me for more wine tips.

7moThis is going to be a good ride Randy. Once again, filled with great observations and thoughtful perspectives. You're right about those Grand Award chasing wine programs. It's like a huge booty, you can't help but be impressed by it's mere size but how do you navigate all that real estate? Most of it is all for show and a carefully sculpted trimmed down version is far more manageable and just as tasty. Yes, I'm actually talking about a wine list here. Focused, sensorally balanced and compatible with the Culinary offerings. You wouldn't have a menu with 1500 items and wine list should be the same. I find endless aisles and long list irritating. Give me a good selection of appetizing choices and an appealing call to action and I'm good to go. Less time having to ponder and more time to enjoy my choice.
