On the floor, Bordeaux: wine region works best when it becomes a simple recommendation: wine profile, drinking occasion, approximate temperature and reason for the pairing. That reading reduces guest doubt and helps the team sell with confidence even when no sommelier is present every shift.
Data to prioritize
