Restaurant and Bar Wine Lists
Rates: $500 - $10,000
Ashwin builds wine lists for bars and restaurants that glisten in diversity and class. Building the perfect wine list is more art than it is science. Balancing cost with quality and breadth of selection with depth takes a practiced mind and palate. Ashwin specializes in discovering undervalued and under-appreciated wines that will make your wine list unique and fit your concept. It's easy to stack a wine list full of Bordeaux, Napa, and Tuscany. It takes more creativity and exploration to include Colchagua Valley, Marche, and Rias Baixas.
Beyond just building a great wine list, it's equally important that your staff is well-trained and knowledgeable. Ashwin spends time with your staff training them both in the basics of wine as well as the specifics around the wine program.
Wine List services include:
- Wine selection (red, white, orange, sparkling, fortified, dessert)
- Wine pairing with menus (both a la carte and prix fixe)
- Wine training for staff
- One-time wine list building or seasonal wine lists
