I’ve seen it again and again.
A restaurant adds a killer bottle — even a cult wine collectors chase — and it just...sits there.
So they give up.
Go back to safe, mainstream wines.
Wines that sell, sure — but don’t excite, delight, or inspire loyalty.
Safe wine lists don’t get 5-star reviews.
They don’t create unforgettable moments.
They don’t build reputations.
The truth is:
It’s not the wine that sells — it’s the story.
The frame. The psychology. The presentation.
And that’s where this book changes the game.
