Wines Flashcards

Both Gideon Owen wines and Guest List wines are covered here, but I tried to include more info for G. O. wines, for obvious reasons.

50
Q

Guest List: Can guests buy a Guest List wine by the bottle to take home with them?

A

Yes! However, due to Ohio law, it must be opened by the restaurant and then resealed.

51
Q

Can a guest purchase a Gideon Owen wine to take home?

A

Yes! You can ring them up for a retail wine in Toast, and get it from the Tirage room.

Otherwise, you can send them to the Tirage room to purchase any Gideon Owen wine.

52
Q

What if someone wants to sample a Gideon Owen wine?

A

They can! Ring in a wine sample under G.O. Wines, and special request the type they want to try.

Wine samples are $.50 each.

Note: try to limit them to 3 samples per table.

53
Q

What if someone wants to sample a Guest List wine?

A

Sorry, no luck. Guests can only sample Gideon Owen wines for $.50. If the wine they want to try is in the Tirage room, they can buy a card and try it there.

54
Q

Do we offer wine flights?

A

Not really, and definitely not as table service. If someone asks, direct them toward Tirage, where they can purchase a wine card and essentially build their own flight.

55
Q

What’s a half carafe? Can all Gideon Owen wines be purchased as a half carafe?

A

A half carafe is equivalent to half a bottle of wine. Most, though not all, Gideon Owen wines are offered in this size. Chardonnel, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Vidal Blanc, Red Blend, Rose of Pinot Noir, and Summer Blush can all be purchased this way.

However, Traminette, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc can not.

(Personal observation: the wines that are not on tap are the wines that cannot be purchased as a half carafe.)

56
Q

Are all Gideon Owen wines available by the glass?

A

Almost all of them! However, the Meritage, Chardonnay, and Rose of Cabernet Sauvignon are Reserve wines, and are only available by the bottle.

57
Q

Are all Gideon Owen wines available by the bottle?

Can someone order a full bottle in the restaurant?

A

Mostly, yes! They are all available for purchase in the Tirage room by the bottle (ie, retail price).

However, all the wines that are “on tap” behind the bar will be served in the restaurant as a “full carafe,” which is the same size.
