Answers to Some Wine Questions

How Should Wine Be Enjoyed?

Wines are meant to accompany food. And each wine and dish carry on their own particular dialogue. As you taste a dish and sip the wine, try to follow their exchange as well as the conversations around you. Take a bite then a sip, ending the meal with a sip.

Is an Unfinished Open Bottle Wasted?

There’s some left? Don’t throw it out. An opened bottle, even of champagne, will keep a few days without loss of taste. Simply close the bottle with an airtight stopper designed to prevent oxidation or spray in a little "Private Preserve" made up of three odourless, tasteless non-inflammable gases.

Do I Have to Serve the Wine My Guests Brought?

Whether it be a premium wine or a screw-top wine, you are not obliged to open the gift bottle. Your guest will understand that your menu was planned in advance with specific wines in mind. Thank your guest, keep the wine and, if you wish, have your friend over some other time to enjoy it.

Cheers!
