Take Control Of The Wine List

Do you ever just feel completely overwhelmed when you’re handed the wine list – especially for an important or special occasion? Most wine lists are written assuming the reader has a great knowledge of wine and geography and this can be very intimidating. But the good news is that understanding the three main ways wine lists are organized is the first step in helping you choose the perfect bottle of wine.

Imagine this—you are seated at an upscale restaurant with one of your best clients and then handed a wine list thicker than a college textbook.  You want to pick out the “perfect” wine to impress your client but everything looks like it is written in a foreign language.  After only a few minutes the server asks if you have made your selection, so you decide to order the most familiar thing on the menu.   You are not sure your selection will coordinate with your meals, and it costs more than your boss will tolerate for a client dinner.  By the time the bottle arrives, you have broken out in a cold sweat and are ready to take a big gulp!  The good news is that understanding the three main ways wine lists are organized is the first step to preventing this from ever happening to you.   

There are three primary types of wine lists - those organized by the grape varietal, by geography (or where it is made), and by flavor profile (progressive).  Keep in mind that some lists blend several of these methods.  Let’s explore each of these three types of wine lists:

By Grape Varietal.  Organized by the main grape variety used to produce the wine, this type of list definitely appeals to our varietally conscious culture.  It may be further organized by country or state.  Thinking of the grape varietal first and the origin second is an American trend.  Many European countries are now trying to focus more on the grape varieties despite regulations that ban the top rated wine from listing them on the label.  Sections for the popular varietals, e.g., Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, are usually listed, as well as an “other varietals” category for white and red.  These lesser known varietal sections can often be more interesting, and is where many bargains can be found!

By Geography. This wine list is organized by countries of origin and often has the more specific subcategories, like the regions or state, which is the traditional type of wine list.  If you love French wines, this type of list makes it easy.  Flip to the French section and then look at what regions or wines are offered.  The grape varietal used may (or may not) be listed next to the wines in this type of list.  This is not an issue for most wine from the US since the wine is usually labeled by grape varietal, e.g., Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.  The European wine industry, however, tends to focus on the region where it is produced and assumes we know what grapes are grown.  Even though the principal grapes of Burgundy are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they won’t appear on the bottle of Burgundy’s finest wines.    Progressive.  This type of list is a relatively new approach that is organized by the flavor and body profile.  A typical category might be dry-light-bodied whites, and the wines in that category may be ordered from mildest to fullest.  This allows diners to look for the type of wine they enjoy and then order options in the same flavor and body category.  Your favorite grapes or countries may be located in many different categories.  Once you get the hang of these lists, they are tons of fun.  They don’t require any special knowledge of geography or grapes—just a knowledge of what you like.

Hopefully you a have a better understanding of the three most common ways restaurants will organize their lists.  The geographic and grape varietal lists will account for 80% of the lists encountered, but the progressive list may be a growing trend for the future.  Hopefully the next time you take an important client (or that special someone) to dinner they will be impressed with your ability to find the right wine in no time!

How Wine Helps Your Health by Caroline Silverstone

You constantly hear a variety of differing information about wine being good for one thing or another, or how alcohol consumption is good in moderation. You may also hear that it is bad altogether. It's hard to keep the information straight and even know what to believe sometimes. Yet, despite all the different things you hear that conflict with one another, one thing to remember is that many doctors recommend that you drink a glass of wine a day, especially red wine.

Studies show that red wine is effective in helping lower your bad cholesterol and raising your good cholesterol. Most of these scientific studies reveal that while white wine may help a little with cholesterol problems, it is the red wines and the ingredients from the skin of the grapes that help the most. Cholesterol has a direct impact on your heart's functioning because as it builds up in the arteries of your heart, it makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood. Therefore, because red wine helps reduce cholesterol, it also helps your heart.

Wine has been known to also have a positive effect on certain cancers, especially red wine. Once again red wine wins out over white! Certain antioxidants in the skins and seeds of the grape, which are used in the making of red wine, as well as other chemicals in the wine, may give you some amount of protection against the development and progression of some cancers.

It has been shown that people who drink no alcohol have less brainpower than those who drink wine moderately. This was shown in a study done on women over 70. There is also one quarter less mental decline in those who enjoy wine than in those who avoid it. So to keep sharp as you age, many experts recommend a glass of wine a day.

If you are looking to reduce the amount of fat you use in cooking, wine may be a good substitute for cooking oil. Wine can be used as a cooking liquid in roasting, slow cooking and more. It also makes a flavorful addition to sauces and many other types of dishes. Adding wine intensifies the taste of food with adding extra fat, which is certainly bad for your health.

There are many other health issues that may be helped through the moderate drinking of wine. These include:

gall stones blood clotting kidney stones bone density high blood pressure

The key to using wine to help your health is to drink it in moderation. Every study that links wine and good health makes a strong point of mentioning that you should only drink between 1 and 3 glasses of wine a day. Some recommendations are on the higher end, while others are on the lower end.

Some top tips for health include:

maintain a reasonable weight get exercise keep stress under control eat a balanced diet drink wine in moderation

By following these tips you will likely live a long, happy and fun life. Cheers!
