It's #winewednesday! With November coming to a close, it's getting to that time of year when New Year's Eve plans start to loom. This includes choosing your NYE champagne. Here I wrote about why Andre' just might be a good choice. Before you give me a huge thumbs down or an evil side eye, take a read why I give it a thumbs up! (If you also choose Andre, or have a favorite champagne/sparkling wine that is your go-to for NYE, let me know!)

Bottling Success: How One Sommelier’s Journey Uncorks the Truth About Wine Wisdom Hey LinkedIn fam, let me pour you a glass of insight. 🍷 You know, I read this article about a sommelier's journey in St. Louis, and it got me thinking. While she's out there swirling and sniffing for the perfect vintage, she made an off-the-cuff remark that really stuck: "Wine knowledge is not just about memorization, but about the stories and people behind the label." That's the sip of truth we often forget! In the bustling world of wine and spirits, it's so easy to get caught up in the fancy lingo and forget that at the end of the day, it's all about connecting—whether it’s the grapes, the growers, or the glass-half-full folks we share it with. At Supergay Spirits, our journey mirrors that sentiment. We're not just in the business of crafting drinks; we're here to foster connections. So let's raise our glasses to the stories behind every bottle and the rich experiences they bring. 🥂 Check out the full vine-to-wine tale here: [Article Link] #WineWisdom #SommelierJourney #SupergaySpirits #ConnectOverACocktailhttps://lnkd.in/e2utEtGt.

When asking Reenen Borman what has been one important lesson learned in his winemaking journey, he responded: "When I worked in France, I started to understand that wine should be part of your daily life, and not just an 8-5 job. This enables you to experience wine differently, notice the finer side of the beverage and what the difference is between a good and a great product."

Daily Dollop of Wallop #10 Morning Monday people - what's good? Today, I want to share with you an opinion I have had over the years that's completely divided opinion. Caused some debate (amongst my industry peers) and generally stirred up a little swell. This is centred around the notion of serving a 250ml measure of wine. For me, it's an awful way of presenting a wine. I have never and nor will I ever support the serving of this measure. Perhaps surprisingly, my stance is NOT based on the measure itself. I don't really have a huge issue with this in terms of the volume. My problem is the aesthetic aspect of it. It doesn't matter what vessel is used to house the wine, it just looks too vast and displeasing to me. It screams 'more' and 'vastness'. It says to me 'greed' and the 'cant wait won't wait' mentality at the bar when the drinker simply says "make it a large one then I won't have to come back to the bar". It's laziness and a lack of intent to explore another wine. Like I say, It really doesn't have much to do with the 250ml measure itself. I will happily have a few 125ml measure if wines which would defeat the point, if my argument was in fact based around the specific volume of wine. Having a 250ml measure of one wine doesn't permit the opportunity to enjoy two 125's of different wines. Thus allowing you to potentially try something different. Thus supporting the whole wine list of the establishment in which you are in. Thus not putting to the test the work that has gone into producing that list FOR YOU to enjoy, explore and experience. Really keen to see what your views are on this. It has been a relative hot topic for a few years now and there are so many opinions, all of which I think have validity. This was my own personal opinion. What's yours? Leverage you beverage. #madetomeasure #opinions #winemeasures #ukhospitality #whatdoyouthink #winelover #disruptiveleadership
