What makes a successful restaurant wine program? Two things.
Profitability. Engagement.
The fundamentals of wine service and sales need not be dry as a Cabernet Sauvignon. It can be as informative, useful and entertaining enough to be memorable and profitable for every member of your service team.
“‘The Wine Primer’ study guide Eric created keeps the lesson focused and allows the students to refer back to the information for years to come. It is an invaluable tool for me as an instructor that becomes follow up lessons and the basis for quizzes and practical application. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking to increase wine knowledge, comprehension and sales abilities within their operation.”
~Julie Raftis-Litzenberger, Culinary Arts Instructor, Inland Northwest Culinary Academy
Do we really teach wine? Yes. Engaging, informed wine conversation. However, the underlying lessons center around coaching Hospitality.
The sentiments of true hospitality offer guests the welcome to return with the courtesy of a job well done.
It was very evident that you brought with you a true passion and professionalism to put this team together and lead them with kindness.
~Greg Werry, Food and Beverage Director, Northern Quest Resort and Casino
