B O T T L E S P R O M I S E SBUILDING A SUCCESSFUL WINE PROGRAM MEANS KEEPING IT REAL

&

BY DAVID STANSFIELD,

CORPORATE SOMMELIER, EARLS KITCHEN + BAR

I wrote my first wine list for as much beer as I could drink. It was a great deal, and good beer too.

The list was for the Alibi Room, the mecca for craft beer in Western Canada. One afternoon at the bar, the owner, Nigel Springthorpe, let me know about his challenges with wine reps. A stream of vaguely similar, unnervingly chipper

men and women poured into his restaurant trailing black roller bags crammed full of bottles and promises.

Each rep told him they had wines he needed. A killer little red, white, rosé from California, Italy, Canada that over-deliv-ers. Not that points matter, but this wine got 89, 90, 91 points from Decanter, Parker, Schreiner.

While Nigel knew as much as anyone in the province about local beer, he felt lost in wine. He’d built an uncompromising craft beer program by being proactive but didn’t know where to begin with wine. I can help, I said, I’m a sommelier. A few beers later we struck a deal; one wine program for all the beer.

This should be easy, I thought, I’m an expert. It wasn’t. There are thousands of wines available in Canada, where do you begin? What wines make sense for a craft beer house? How do I find them?

Fourteen years later, the answers to those questions con-tinue to guide my work as the Corporate Sommelier for all of Earls Kitchen + Bar’s North American locations. They can be distilled into four pillars.

WINE!

PICK WINES THAT GO WITH THE RESTAURANT

1.

2.

A clearly communicated vision about a wine program helps hone in on a set of wines from which to choose and communicates a sense of purpose and curation to guests.

Restaurateurs generally lead with concerns about which wines pair with their food. I suggest starting more broadly by deciding which wines go with the restaurant’s overall brand and experience.

For Cuchillo, a hip restaurant offering Latin cuisine from local ingredients in Vancouver’s Railtown neighbourhood, we chose a list that offered the same. It comprised a by-the-glass selection of up-and-coming local wines complemented by a premium bottle selection of Latin American and Spanish wines with a preference for the esoteric, organic and biodynamic.

Next, rather than jump into selecting specific wines, write an outline of how the menu should look. Decide how many wines will be offered by the glass and bottle as well as from which varieties and regions and at what price points. From there, it’s a process of filling in the blanks.

At Earls, I offer different wines at different locations depending on the province, city or even neighbourhood. There’s no corporate list. I keep it consistent, and my work manageable, by following the same basic outline at each location.

Economic conditions and population growth are the key factors when it comes to forecasting foodservice sales. Over the next four years, Canada’s economy will grow at a slower pace than in 2017 and 2018 due to modest productivity gains and slower population growth. This will restrain real disposable income growth to just 1.3% per year between 2019 and 2022.

As a result, Restaurants Canada is forecasting commercial foodservice sales to grow by an average of 3.9% per year over the next four years. By 2022, combined commercial and non-commercial foodservice sales will surpass the $100 billion mark.

One of the biggest challenges that will impact foodservice sales is record-high household debt levels and rising interest rates. With households racking up debt of more than $2.1 trillion – nearly matching the overall size of the Canadian economy – consumers will be watching their spending. Because of this, retail sales growth is forecast to slow from an average of 5.9% per year between 2016 and 2017 to just 2.3% per year between 2018 and 2022.

Driven by stronger gains at quick-service restaurants and higher spending at full-service restaurants, commercial foodservice sales will advance by 3.9% in 2019. In 2020, commercial foodservice sales will see a slight bump in growth due to the leap day in February. This will be followed by average annual growth of 3.5% in 2021 and 2022. Once adjusted for menu infl ation, real sales will grow at roughly the same pace as population growth.

Restaurants Canada employs an econometric model to forecast commercial foodservice sales by using the Conference Board of Canada’s forecasts of consumer spending, real GDP, employment and tourism.
