WINES
How to Order Wine
in a Restaurant
— Amne Livingston
You settle into your seat
at a fine dining establishment and a leather bound wine menu is plopped down in front
of you. You become flustered, overwhelmed, and panicky as you turn each page of the extensive
wine list. Panic no longer! Discover how to interpret a wine list, inquire,
select and order like a pro. Learn to disarm the wine steward, impress your table mates, and fine
tune your wine-speak.
Amne Livingston,
a certified Level II Sommelier has been educating wine aficionados for years. Her
straight forward style of teaching enables you to discover something
about the cultural aspects of wine.
