WESTSIDE CROSSING PINOT NOIR RUSSIAN RIVER WINE -14 750ML

Westside Crossing Pinot Noir Russian River 750 mL

• Tasting / Profile
   • Sourced from neighborhood vineyards near the historic Wohler Bridge crossing of the Russian River Valley AVA in Sonoma County; about 50% of fruit comes from the estate of Moshin Vineyards.
   • Style notes: red cherry and bramble fruit, hints of rose-petal and orange rind, savory herbs and subtle earthy/mushroom/moss notes with supple texture. 
   • Crisp acidity and moderate tannins suit food-friendly red wine service; smooth enough for by-the-glass distribution.

• Menu Versatility
   • Serve by the glass as a well-priced premium Sonoma Pinot—great for guests wanting quality without ultra-high price.
   • Pairs well with grilled salmon, roasted pork tenderloin, herb-crusted chicken, and medium‐bodied charcuterie.
   • Use in wine flights (e.g., “California Pinot Trio: Russian River / Willamette / Mendocino”) to broaden appeal.
   • Works in daily specials or seasonal menus where fresh, bright red wine is desired.

• Operational Efficiency
   • Standard 750 mL format fits seamlessly into existing wine racks and glassware service protocols.
   • The “value premium” positioning helps maintain turnover—less risk of slow-moving high-end SKU.
   • Clear provenance (Russian River, Moshin/Moshin fruit) supports staff knowledge and guest sell-through without requiring deep training.

• Profit Potential
   • Positioned between house/bulk reds and ultra-premium vintages—allows good margin by the glass while offering premium narrative.
   • Upsell strategy: highlight it as “premium Sonoma Pinot” and offer bottle service for small groups or pair with food specials.
   • Use menu description to emphasise “Russian River Valley” region and vineyard story to justify priced‐up by-the-glass or bottle.
   • Encourage cross-sell: “Ask about our Westside Crossing flight with Chardonnay & Pinot” to increase check average.
