Wine List Analysis

When it comes to wine it’s a well topic that most customers tent to have over dinner, meetings, or just casual drinking. Wine is an important drink in many dinners, Wine comes from every part of the world and is used different in many cultures, and wine is made different from other places in the world. For example a France wine is very different form a Germany wine. One because of the law rules each country has and two because of the different types of grapes, soil, etc.

For this assignment I will do a Wine List Analysis on, The River CafĂ© located in Brooklyn under the Brooklyn bridge and Blue ribbon well know for being nominate in the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurateur, located in Brooklyn as well as SoHo and other parts of Manhattan. The River CafĂ© is a fining dining restaurant know for their Michelin- starred and “the most outstating wine list in the world.” As well as being reorganized for being an active restaurant for more than 40 years. As for Blue ribbon, was found by Bruce and Eric Bromberg, in 1992 combining their “French expertise with their American roots.” Blue ribbon is a relax and “embodied the spirit of individuality” by offering authentic dining experience.

When you compared the two restaurants for Wine listing The River CafĂ© has twice as more than Blue Ribbon. The River CafĂ© has 19 pages of their amazing wine while the Blue ribbon has 7 pages from their different kinds of wine. Another major difference from these two different wine list is in the link of The River CafĂ©, we as the consumer see the wine director as well as the Sommelier and in the link of Blue moon we don’t we just see all the different kinds of wine and other liquors. Besides  being very different they do have some similarities after all. For example one similarity I notice was both of them have wines from France, Italy and Spain. Another similarity is that both of them have wines from different region but they both share wines from the region of France, Alsace, Rhone Valley,  Bordeauox, and of course Burgundy.

When you look both of these restaurant’s you get to see how very different they both are in  terms of  food and wine. But you also get to see the experience and imagine how it will be dinning in and feel the different environment. As well as make you question the type of person you are when it comes to dining and wine choices.
