Clyde's Restaurant Group features winelists that are designed to help our guests select
bottles that will provide excellent pairings with dishes ordered from our menus.
Our wines are not categorized according to grape variety or country of origin, but rather
in a "progressive" format. This means that the lists progress from lighter, more delicate
wines to richer and more intensely flavored ones. Whites and reds are divided into light-
, medium- and full-bodied categories. So, whether you order a relatively light or
relatively robust menu item, you'll be able to quickly find those wines featuring a
weight and intensity appropriate to your food. Knowing that the wine you choose will
neither overwhelm your food nor fail to measure up to it, you then can select a
particular bottle based on your preferences for certain grapes or regions.
Based on our experience with items from our menus, we also offer specific suggested
food and wine pairings on our menus as well as on our winelists. Additionally, our staff
engages in wine training on a regular basis, so you can ask your server for a suggestion
suited to your preferences and budget.
Each of our restaurants offers a unique menu according to the specialties of its
executive chef. Likewise, each restaurant maintains a distinctive wine list. However,
all of the lists are built around a core of 36 wines that are selected in a highly
competitive process each year. The 36 core wines for 2007 were selected out of a pool of
more than 1,400 candidates. Final choices were determined by a committee of managers
and chefs drawn from across the company in a two-day blind tasting in which each
wine was tasted with food. The core wines for 2007 are:
