🍷 Evolution in a Glass: Decoding the Symphony of Wine 🍇 In the world of Food and Beverage service, wine stands as an exquisite expression of culture, history, and craftsmanship. As F&B service professionals, navigating the nuanced evolution of this ancient elixir is both an art and a science. 1. Timeless Elegance: Like a well-aged Bordeaux, the story of wine unfolds with each sip. From ancient amphorae to modern cellars, witnessing the evolution of winemaking is a journey through time. 2. Terroir Tales: Understanding the essence of terroir is essential. The soil, climate, and topography—these elements script the narrative of each vineyard, influencing the character of every bottle poured. 3. Varietal Symphony: Grasping the symphony of grape varietals is akin to conducting an orchestra. From the bold notes of Cabernet Sauvignon to the delicate harmonies of Pinot Noir, each grape tells a unique story. 4. Service Choreography: As F&B service professionals, our role is that of orchestrators. A deft swirl, a judicious pour, and an informed recommendation—all contribute to the seamless dance between wine and patron. 5. Decanting Wisdom: Just as wine matures, so does our expertise. Decanting isn’t merely a ritual; it’s a moment of transformation, unlocking the full potential of a wine and enhancing the guest experience. 6. Tasting Diplomacy: The ability to guide guests through a diverse wine list is a diplomatic skill. Understanding preferences, suggesting pairings, and fostering exploration elevate the dining experience. 7. Oenological Education: Continuous learning is the backbone of mastery. Stay abreast of emerging trends, regions, and varietals. A well-informed sommelier enriches not only the wine service but also the overall culinary narrative. In the ever-evolving landscape of wine, we, as F&B service professionals, are the custodians of an ancient tradition and the architects of new experiences. Here’s to uncorking the stories, one bottle at a time. 🥂✨ #WineCulture #FoodAndBeverage #WineEvolution #ServiceExcellence 🌐

The beauty of contrast in flavors is a culinary art form that tantalizes the palate, where the harmonious interplay of sweet and savory, spicy and mild, or crunchy and tender, creates a symphony of sensations that elevate the dining experience to a higher level. Introducing the "RECONSTRUCTED TOMATO," a masterful creation that not only mirrors the visual allure of a real tomato but also elevates the palate with a symphony of flavors. Impeccably designed to accentuate its texture, this culinary marvel derives its savory umami essence from the meticulously pickled tomato pulp, harmoniously intertwined with the refined creaminess imparted by a filling of sake-infused soybean curd. This gastronomic masterpiece, known as "Reconstructed Tomato," is a testament to culinary artistry taken to new heights, where every aspect of taste and presentation is meticulously considered.

Nostalgic trends aren’t reserved for fashion and interiors, this also happens with food as the restaurant industry is cyclical.  There’s been a revived interest in hearty, traditional comfort dishes for diners after the hype of molecular gastronomy cools and people are seeking familiarity in a world that is seemingly becoming more unfamiliar. Restaurants are reaching into the archives and dusting off old recipes to add a touch of comfort to their menus again. Nostalgic additions we’ve seen are pea and ham soup from the Devonshire Soho, Maitake Cornish pasty from Roe Restaurant, and daily pies from Quo Vadis Soho. Dovetale London added a Knickerbocker Glory station to their repertoire (which cost a whopping £50k), and you can get ice cream sandwiches from Manteca. Some places have taken full inspiration from chefs’ childhoods, like the Southern Chinese restaurant Hainan House and the traditionally French Josephine Bouchon.  Whether it’s reinventing hearty classics that remind us of home or revisiting traditional family recipes, we’d be the last to say no to food that’s just simply delicious. #foodtrends

✊️ The Amber Revolution is not dead yet! 🍊 It's been 10 years now that Orange Wines took over the wine lists all over the World: 🎷 A funky mix between traditional winemaking methods and the new wave of byodinamic philosophy, Orange Wines became a must between wine -lovers and wine-hipsters! 🍇 The freshness of white wine with the body of a red, and a lot of personality: sometimes elegant, sometimes rough, but unusual and unforgettable for sure. 🇬🇪 From Georgia to 🇮🇹 Carso and Collio, from 🇬🇷 Greece to the inner Mediterranean, this style is widely produced and appreciated. 🗺 There are quite few wineries specialized in Orange Wines only, with more then 40 years of experience: most of them are now a real cult for the wine lovers (and the wine traders), and their bottles are very hard to purchase due to the low quantities (and high prices sometimes). 🌟 But, despite been loved and having a well deserved place in a lot of starred restaurants, it's very hard to find them in the classic fine dining venues around the World, included a lot of 3stars awarded temples of cuisine, excluded and snobbed by the luxurious world of wines. 🤔 What are the reasons, for you? 🍊 Do you like Orange Wines? ✊️ Is it just a trend, or the Amber Revolution is still on? 📸 Nur, La Distesa, Cupramontana, Italy. #sommelier #winelovers #sommlife #orangewines #finedining #wine #expectations #wondering #Revolution
