At the Olive Garden restaurant chain's annual Wine Category Management Meeting, vendors met with company marketers to discuss the future. In a savvy spirit of partnership, Olive Garden revealed its goals, growth opportunities and areas of improvement with its winery partners. In turn, winery vendors shared the latest industry trends, pricing and marketing ideas and other valuable suggestions.
Greg Rees, director of beverage marketing for Olive Garden, describes how Trinchero Family Estates Winery responded at the company's recent event: "They always do a great job. They think outside the box, give us interesting tactics and different ways of presenting wines. What's neat is they are not strictly selling their own product but recommend wines that aren't theirs if they believe it benefits our overall wine list." Hotel Magazines
Bill Barry, VP of hospitality and foodservice for Trinchero Family Estates, says his company has built a skilled marketing department that supports their customers with innovative data, analysis, and growth recommendations. http://hfbexecutive.com
The most innovative idea presented by Trinchero to Olive Garden? "Wine-based cocktails," says Rees. "They created recipes and held a tasting. Most people think Sangria when they think about wine drinks. Trinchero's idea helps grow the entire wine category."

Food and wine. Together? What a concept! Who knew? Apparently, the peeps at the Frontline Club are well aware of this winning combo and will go so far as to conduct a food and wine matching event with their head chef John Taylor and wine author Malcolm Gluck. Taylor’s food: sourced from local, indie producers. Gluck’s vino: picked from the Frontine’s wine list (created by Gluck) to complement to each of Taylor’s courses. Both dudes will be on hand during the event to chat and share about the

The mayor of Meyer lemons.Photo: Getty ImagesA couple of years ago, the magazine ran an "Intel" piece about John Catsimatidis, owner of Gristede’s and potential mayoral candidate. In a similar piece in this week’s New Yorker, Catsimatidis seems to defy what Jeremy Sullivan of Kobe Club told us and what Drew Nieporent told the Times — that current economic woes aren’t hurting restaurants.“I was in Nino’s restaurant last week, and usually the place is full,” he said. “They only had three tables.

Homage to Pinotage

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 10:21:33 PDT
*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Bottlenotes. Or rather, to a Pinotage/Shiraz blend. I received this wine quite a while ago as a part of a blogger trial of Bottlenotes. For the trial, I was given a credit at Bottlenotes which I could use to try out any of their wineclubs. I chose the Dinner Party club, and received this Pinotage/Shiraz in a shipment along with a bottle of Petite Sirah Port that I have yet to try. The wine was a 2006 Seven Sisters "Dawn" Pinotage/Shiraz from

Checking my blog this morning, I TOTALLY forgot that I posted the previous entry when I stumbled home with my roommate Chris, who I think was rambling about how awesome John Mayer is on the way home, last night. Haha. Recap of the first stop of the night…will be up on my favorite social blog Guest of a Guest in a bit. Nnamdi texting with some gal having a party uptown shows me a text from her that says “We have a table. You guys should come.” We hopped in a gypsy car to meet her at the W in…d

Changing highways.

I was sitting under a 1950 Harley Davidson. It was on a display stand at head height, hanging over the table at which I was sitting. I was hoping like hell it wouldn’t fall on me. It was the night after the storms and a Harley breaking its moorings would have made a shocking mess of my head. And my dinner, which was Cajun fish. Sometimes, fish is so tender you hardly need a knife. The flesh of this fish was moist and just opaque and it came away in quivering flakes with a touch of the fork.
