The scene is a common one. A group of diners are out for a nice meal when suddenly the server hands over the wine list. It’s pages long and feels as heavy as your high school chemistry book. As you scan the list, you are overwhelmed by the hundreds of wine you have never even heard of before. You ask the server for a few recommendations but he seems equally nonplussed, not to mention, frantically busy.
Then you glance at the prices. One hundred dollars for a bottle of wine you might not even like? No way. You give up and order the cheapest bottle of wine (or the second cheapest, just to be a little decadent). You don’t know if you made the right choice, but at least it didn’t break the bank.
Thankfully, there is a better way. Electronic menus are changing the way people choose wine and enhancing the dining experience from start to finish. With an electronic menu, the guest is empowered to make the best decision for his or her palette as well as for their meal. Read more

The Telltale Signs of A Great Wine Program
/in Dining Out /by Josh SaundersNot every wine program is created equal. Some restaurants devote plenty of time and effort to their wine program, and those efforts are made evident almost the moment a guest walks into the door. However, some restaurants place their focus elsewhere, which means that serious wine lovers (also known as oenophiles) might miss out on quality and variety when dining out. Considering the markup that is on wine and alcohol when dining out, guests definitely don’t want to make the wrong decision when it comes to choosing a restaurant.
