    2 NorthBaybiz Special Wine Issue 2018 A WINE TO ENTICE THE SENSES By Jennie Orvino ome quickly, I am tasting the stars!” The 17th-century Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon may have uttered those words after sipping a glass of sparkling wine, though it’s far more likely the phrase was lifted from a 19th-century print advertisement. Whatever the exclamation’s origin, there is no doubt that wine with bubbles is thrilling, making it “the perfect accompaniment to life’s momentous occasions. C“Sparkling wine is probably the most exciting wine to the human senses. You hear the pop of the cork and the frothy sound as it is poured,” says Ludovic “Ludo” Dervin, winemaker for Mumm Napa. “You see the tiny bubbles rising and feel the breath of the wine when you smell it. Even before you taste, the palate is primed for a sensual experience.” Special Wine Issue 2018 NorthBaybiz 3 More and more, sparkling wine is a drink maritime influences would be well-suited of choice, regardless of time or season. for the two most important sparkling wine “Giving your dog a bath can be an occasion grapes—Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

  • Wine List Introduction
    Wine List Introduction A generation ago to know about wine you needed to be an expert in history, geography, geology and climate, as well as an epicurean. Today, with the main grape varieties becoming synonymous with particular flavours and styles, the world of wine has been simplified. Take Sauvignon Blanc as the number one grape associated with a distinctive style of white wine – i.e. the grassy, zingy, gooseberry fruit intensity that Marlborough, New Zealand created back in the late Eighties and early Nineties that has overtaken the more reserved stone fruit nuanced & mineral bone dry examples from the varietals ‘home’ in the Loire Valley in France, such as Sancerre & Pouilly Fumé. There in a nutshell is the contrast between ‘Old World’ (Europe) and ‘New World’ (Southern Hemisphere), wines that need food to shine and wines that jump from the glass bursting with flavours and aromas that are almost best when tasted on their own! As grape varieties and blends of different grapes are now associated with styles of wine, we have organised our wine collection according to style, featuring the hallmark varietals / cultivars connected to those different styles. Good wine is best enjoyed, many would say enhanced, by fine glassware and at Fonab we use Riedel - the Austrian family owned business that virtually introduced the concept of varietal specific glassware to the wine loving world and have continued in their quest to maintain a position of global market leader. For the fine and rare wines and especially those served using the Coravin® system we use the Riedel ‘Veritas’ varietal specific glassware – probably the finest practical restaurant use glasses available today.
