How do we make wine lists more appealing? Last night my friends and I would have loved a glass of rouge to end the evening. Out of the eight of us. One went to bed (having lost at golf), two went for whisky (laphroig 10yr old £8), five went for exciting looking cocktails. I’m confident this will be a similar story at venues across the country. Who is responsible to bring the list to life? The supplier? The venue? Here is a few ideas I’ve had/have seen work? - honesty fridge/bar where guests can go up and choose their own wine with margin added on. (This worked super well at our hotel in Vienna). Saves on having to have a static list. - more interactive and creative wine lists with less options. - smaller lists that focus on quality over quantity. - off piste wine list that only the waiter can explain to you. The handselling option will bring the wine to life. The longer these lists remain boring the less relevant wine will become. Now is the time for trial and error in the industry. What do you think can be done to bring a wine list to life? #wine #hospitality

As a business development coach, I often recommend to extroverts, to find associations and organizations you enjoy networking with.

What are your favorite associations for networking? #BusinessDevelopment #BizDevCoach #ExecutiveCoach #Marketing #LegalMarketing #Networking

As Steve Martin yelled, "The new phone book is here!" In my case, it's the latest issue of SOMM Journal, publishing my usual Bottom Line column. This time around, on how small, smart, focused, food-centric wines lists should be considered just as prestigious as gigantic ones that lists wines just for the sake of having them listed or winning "grand" awards. Now more than ever, makes sense for restaurants, aspiring sommeliers (who want to keep their jobs) and, most importantly, guests. #restaurantlife #restaurantwine #sommelierlife #sommjournal #winelist #hospitalityindustry #HospitalityManagement #sommelierbusiness #sommelierdreams #winelist #foodandbeverage #foodandbeverageindustry

The wine industry suffers enough from a reputation of elitism and exclusivity, it doesn’t need yet another super elite private club. Leaders of fine wine and fine dining should be working towards grass roots education to inspire, attract talent and develop & acquire new markets. Instead, this new private elite club member venture is clearly sending out the message of division, exclusion and in other words “if you’re not rich enough you can’t join our club”. Sad but true. #winebusiness #wine https://lnkd.in/gYiQptd5
