Pairing by the glass


Pairing by the glass offers a different wine for each course, served in reduced measures alongside the tasting menu. Highly prized in fine dining, this format lets guests taste rare bottles without buying a whole one and showcases the sommelier's knowledge. It requires a cellar able to hold opened wines and tight management of wastage through preservation systems to remain profitable across a service.
