QUESTION 12 OF 30

Looking at our wine list, what would you suggest as a pairing with our rack of lamb?

Whether you have formal training in wine pairings or not, the interviewer would like to see how confident you are when it comes to making suggestions to customers. Also, this question tests how much research you have done on their menu and wine list.

Some suggestions for a rack of lamb include:

- Syrah
- Borolo
- Bordeaux

It is safe to say that most old world wines will pair nicely with this style of meaty dish. Share your knowledge with the interviewer, being as specific to the Hillstone Restaurant Group, Inc. menu as possible.

"I have always enjoyed a Petite Sirah with a rack of lamb. I saw on your wine list that you offer Michael David's, 'Petite Petite.' Since this bottle is 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot, I find it a delicious selection that does not overpower a lamb dish. That bottle would be my suggestion."

"You have many amazing wines at Hillstone Restaurant Group, Inc.. Before making a final suggestion, I would ask the customer what their favorite wines are from home. Then, I would make an appropriate recommendation based on their palate. I see on your menu that you have an amazing Borolo which would be a fantastic pairing to any lamb dish."
