Description
“Monsieur, madame, may I suggest something?” The waiter at the little bistro on the Place du Tertre bows ever so slightly, a bottle cradled in a white napkin and two glasses balanced in his other hand. The couple from Edinburgh, celebrating their first trip abroad together, have no idea what to order. He pours them a taste of something from the Rhône, watches their faces, and smiles. The evening, they will later agree, began at that very moment.
This tall, slim box captures that gracious art of service. A sommelier waiter stands holding a bottle and glasses, ever ready to recommend the perfect pairing. It makes a charming gift for a restaurateur on opening night, a wine club host, a waiter or bartender who takes pride in the craft, or simply a friend who always knows what to pour. Placed on a sideboard beside the decanter, it looks like part of the staff.
