Wine, anyone?
When we tell our clients of the breadth of our services, it
is the wine tastings that receive the most interesting reaction. Clients
are simultaneously confused and excited. “Why wine
education?” is almost always followed with “That
sounds cool!”
Why not wine? So much business happens in the presence
of wine. Go to any steak house in any major city and you
will see business executives hammering out deals with the requisite
trophy wine hovering near by.
One of the greatest joys of business travel is visiting great
restaurants and experiencing interesting wines. So, yeah,
wine education is cool and it is a perfect (ahem) pairing for
business seminars.
Little did I know when I had that first curious sip of a white
zinfandel about 25 years ago that I would be starting a journey
that would lead all over the world of wine. Over the last
three years, I have attended both the certified wine sommelier
and the advanced wine sommelier courses offered by the International
Wine Guild. This education has served me well
in two ways: the personal enjoyment of fine wines and the
ability to provide valuable assistance to our clients.
Click on wine picks and you can see my perfect 24 bottle wine
cellar. The wine tips link will take you to several unconventional
thoughts on the subject as well. Don’t forget to
sign up for our newsletter for a new pick and tip about six times
a year. Finally, keep the What is Your Wine
Personality? course in mind for your next team
building event or holiday party.
And remember our wine drinking motto, “If you like it,
drink it. If you don’t like it, drink it fast!” Cheers! |
