Serving wine in your restaurant can provide an important "third leg" to your liquor stool, complementing beer and tequila cocktails. el Restaurante is helping you introduce wine to your restaurant in two ways.
First, we have created a program called Great Tastes that teaches restaurant owners the basics of creating a successful wine service with a focus on Latin American wines. The first part of this program, which is sponsored by Casillero del Diablo wines, is a booklet, written in English and Spanish, that you can find glued into this edition on page 61. The program also includes web-based wine service education – visit www.elrestaurante.com/Great_Tastes for details.
Second, we are holding a free webinar for readers on June 4 at 10 a.m. Central time about serving wine from Mexico. This webinar, featuring Jill Gubesch, the award-winning sommelier for Rick Bayless' Mexican restaurants, will introduce you to the opportunities of serving Mexican wine in your restaurant.
