Are you stressed about choosing wines and champagnes for a Grand Cayman wedding? Fret not! Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits has the inventory, the capacity, the prices, and the knowledge needed to provide for your wedding impressively without breaking the budget.
Disappointment-Proof Toasting in Grand Cayman
At the bare minimum, your wedding celebration should include a champagne toast. If your plans include a catered reception, you’ll also need to provide guests with the choice of at least one red and one white, like a Pinot Noir and a Sauvignon Blanc. Remember that guests are more likely to enjoy red wine during the winter and white choices during the summer. Whether you incorporate more options will depend entirely on your budget and preferences.
The wines you choose should pair well with the food being served and tickle the taste buds of the bride and groom. Those rules are the only ones that need to apply!
If you need assistance making wine and champagne selections, visit us at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits. We can provide some advice, along with a few samples, to ensure that the choices you make check off all the boxes.
Honor Your Relationship
Many couples choose to honor the shared history of the relationship through the choice of wine. A wine you experienced together on your first date, your engagement, the party celebrating that engagement, or one you discovered together on a trip to a winery is a perfect choice for your wedding. Relating this story to the bartender or servers so that it can be shared with guests adds a bit of meaning that guests will appreciate.
Pair with a Meal
What’s the menu for your wedding reception? This information is critical to choosing the right wines. We suggest you begin with the meal as you consider wine options if you’re preparing for a catered reception.
- Chicken – a light-medium-bodied white or red wine will work well with chicken dishes. We suggest Antinori Tormaresca Chardonnay or Drouhin Laforet Pinot Noir.
- Fish – choose a mineral white wine for seafood selections. We suggest the same wines for fish as we do chicken since many couples choose to provide guests with the option. The Antinori Chardonnay and Drouhin Pinot Noir will pair marvelously with both meals and having the same bottles available will save some confusion during the reception. The Beringer Napa Valley Chardonnay is another excellent option.
- Beef – if your guests choose steak, provide them with wine options with the acidity needed to cut through the fat. The Gaja Gaia and Rey Chardonnay is a white wine option that fits the bill, and for the red wine option, select the Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Red Blend or Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel.
- Pork – Choose Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella as your red wine and Drouhin Macon Villages Burgundy as your white wine option for terrific complements to a pork tenderloin.
