SUNDAY WINE DOWN

17 Apr 2018 By Xin Hui Helder-Eng

Sam Herde is The Man Who Has to Choose From Scores of Wines and Decide on The Special Ones That Make it Into Sunday Wine Down, PS.Cafe’s Monthly Wine Tasting Series.

PS.Cafe‘s Retail and Beverage Manager, Sam Herde has a truly tough life.

First, he has to taste over 90 wines from all across the globe. He swipes left on those that give him “furry teeth”.

From his selection, he needs to decide which of them would most likely make customers “stay” and which wines would customers “takeaway”. Don’t be fooled, both are good; they’re just different.

“We’re seeing more and more people pick up a bottle on their way home, or with their food orders, some enjoy the convenience so much they order wine by the cases…” – PS.Cafe

Since Sam has joined the establishment, the wine list has grown from 150 labels to 350.

In the end, only some 30 of these labels are presented at Sunday Wine Down – PS.Cafe’s monthly wine-tasting series.
