Purchasing Tips from Lead Sommelier, Elyse Lovenworth:
When to Splurge & When to Save on Wine
March 9, 2023
The Veranda article "When to Save and Splurge on Wine, According to Sommeliers" features our Lead Sommelier, Elyse Lovenworth. In the article, she recommends investing in good wine glasses to enhance the wine-drinking experience, and advocates splurging on wines meant to be aged, such as Bordeaux or Burgundy.
The article goes on to note Lovenworth’s recommendation on trying lesser-known wines from regions such as Portugal or Spain. “The value of the wine is less about the varietal (such as chardonnay or malbec) and more about where it’s from, the quality of the vintage and the talent of the producer,” Lovenworth says.
She also advises that customers should communicate with the wineries’ sommeliers and ask for recommendations based on preferences and budget constraints.
