A Quote from How To Grow Your Hospitality Business
On Wine and Food
"Who is the hero? The wine or the food?
I like wine to complement the food. If you start drinking a wine that is big and bold, it can make delicate food taste insipid and bland. I would never serve a full bodied shiraz as an aperitif but prefer bubbles or a lighter style white wine. Sauvignon Blanc can also be a demanding wine and overpower the food that it is served with. I think it makes a great wine to start with but after one glass I want to move on."
