Question:
How much do I have to know about wines?
Wine-list
I study the wine list. "There are plenty of great books on wine and it's more helpful to read about wines than to attempt to taste them all. There is no way that any one person will ever be able to sample every wine ever produced on this planet. Asking questions helps too. Wines play an important roll in fine dining and I do make it an important issue to learn what wines go best with the house's menu."
There is no perfect standard of correctness as to what food and which wine have to be served with each other. However there are standards which I set by offering my guest what I feel fits best together. Nonetheless any guest may choose what he or she wants. Within my abilities I share my knowledge with my customers.
I am no expert on wine making, but I give advice to my guests as I would do to a friend. The matching of food and wine is part of my job as a waiter. I make it my business to learn by reading, listening and asking questions. Food and beverages are my livelihood.
