• Master Sommelier Ron Edwards has linked The English Inn’s wine list and menu to provide guests with expert recommendations on which flavors work well together. Randy and Lisa Daubner, owners of The English Inn, have invested years of study to expand their knowledge of winemaking and its relationship to restaurant cuisine.

At the International Restaurant Show in Las Vegas last March, the couple met Edwards and the creators of Buyers Vine, a wine selector system for customers looking for just the right wine.

“Different foods will make wines taste totally different in your mouth,” said Randy. “We were excited to discover a team of experts that would research our extensive wine list and all of our menu items to create a custom wine and food pairing program specifically tailored to The English Inn.”

Two touch-screen terminals have been installed in the English Inn’s cocktail lounge. Now before dinner, guests can browse the listing of almost 100 different wines, and also see which ones are recommended based on their menu choices.

The English Inn’s custom computer wine pairing program is continuously updated and the complete system is featured on their website, http://www.theenglishinn.com/pair-wines.
