Wine Specialist: Good evening, welcome to Sentio.

Are you ready to explore our wine

selection tonight?

Customer: Absolutely, thank you. I'm looking for something special to pair with my meal.
What would you recommend?

Wine Specialist: Well, it depends on what you're thinking of having for dinner tonight. We

have a variety of options from full - bodied (robust ) reds to crisp whites and

everything in between. Are you leaning towards any particular dish tonight?

Customer: I'm thinking of starting with some seafood, perhaps a light shrimp cocktail,
followed by steak. So, I guess I need something that works well with both dishes.

Wine Specialist: Excellent choices! For the shrimp cocktail, I would suggest a chilled
Sauvignon Blanc. Its citrusy notes and crisp* acidity will beautifully enhance (boost) the
freshness of the seafood. As for the steak, a bold red like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Malbec
would be perfect. The tannins* and rich flavors will stand up well to the savory richness of
the meat.

"Crisp wine" typically refers to a wine that has a refreshing acidity and a clean, lively taste.

Tannin is a substance found in wine, or grapes. It helps to the enrichment of the taste and
texture of food and drinks, often providing a bitter flavor.

Customer: That sounds wonderful. Do you have any specific recommendations within those
categories?

Wine Specialist: Certainly! For the Sauvignon Blanc, I highly recommend the 2019 Domaine
de la Rosière from the Loire Valley. It has vibrant acidity with hints of grapefruit and green
apple, perfect for seafood pairing. And for the red, I would suggest trying the 2016 Château
Saint-André, a Bordeaux blend with fruit flavors and a velvety finish.

Customer: Those sound perfect. I'll go with your recommendations. Could you also tell me a
bit about the wineries behind these bottles?

Wine Specialist: Of course! Domaine de la Rosière is a family-owned estate known for its
dedication to expressing the terroir* of the Loire Valley. Château Saint-André, on the other
hand, has a long history (dating back several centuries) and is renowned (popular) for its
traditional winemaking techniques that result in consistently (regularly) exceptional wines.

What does the term "terroir" - tehr·waar refer to in winemaking?

Customer: Fascinating. I love learning about the stories behind the wines. I'll go ahead and
order a bottle of each. Thank you for your expertise! (professionalism)

Wine Specialist: My pleasure! I'm confident (sure) you'll enjoy them both. If you have any
further(other) questions or need assistance(help) throughout your dining experience,
please don't hesitate to ask.

Customer: Will do. Cheers to a delightful evening!

Wine Specialist: Cheers! Enjoy your meal, and may each sip be as memorable as the last.
