SAVES THE DAY FOR DINNER ENTERTAINING AT HOME

Nine out of ten beautifully organized formal dinners are ruined by poor wine selection and glassware.

Wine Catering โ€“ working with professionals

The wine component is the perennial stumbling block in formal dinners. So many things are just waiting to go wrong. So many people are ever ready to talk about the slipups and the screw-ups. And talk about it they surely will, for so many, many weeks.

Wine catering is not a new concept nor is it a mere fad. Itโ€™s been around for decades. Nobody can expect the regular household staff to know a great deal about wine service. This is why wine catering is indispensable. But how does wine catering work?

We are not just talking about bringing bottles to the table and pouring them into glasses. We are talking about all aspects of wine etiquette. We are talking about selecting the right wines, pairing them against food, understanding serving temperatures, appropriate decanters, wine-specific stemware and wine-specific serving standards – the works.

The wine caterer proposes a wine selection for your approval using se a few inexpensive but decent bottles to start the evening reserving good money in the budget for โ€œfeatured winesโ€. The featured wines showcase the featured dishes โ€“ typically the entrees โ€“ to create a conversation piece. Yes, itโ€™s just show biz but it is fun, for the guests and plenty of compliments for the host.

Wine glasses, like silverware, china and candles are as much a part of the ambience as paintings and other dรฉcor in the dining room. It certainly enhances the experience but it can just as easily froth up colorful sarcasms if attention isnโ€™t paid to these details. Your guests have four long hours to notice everything.

Talking about details, here is another fun part about working with professionals. The good wine caterer will always provide you with a synopsis of the featured wines. This is a one-minute short-cut to connoisseurship. The 2 pages between the covers are discreetly for the eyes of the host only, of course. It is nothing verbose of course but there is a sufficient dosage of knowledge to allow the guests to develop some expectations.

Wine selection has to go perfectly with each course of the dinner. In view of that, the wine caterer and the personal chef should come from the same source. Unless you are steeped in the dark art of arbitration, itโ€™s probably not a good idea to get them from different companies.
