"Wine knowledge is a powerful tool for today's
businessperson-providing leverage in all business
entertaining. Eddie Osterland's dynamic but expert approach
makes learning about wine just as much fun as drinking it."

Wine For Dummies
Power Entertaining with Food & Wine - A
"during dinner" Keynote Address
Eddie's signature "during dinner" event. Eddie will
utilize pairs of wines to enhance your dinner, and will work
with your chef to custom-design a dinner unlike any others
you've seen. Eddie discusses the concept of "food-wines"
and demonstrates why some wines enhance food flavors better
than others. This is highly entertaining ..with an explosive
start-up, followed by humorous anecdotes and true stories.
LEARN SOMETHING NEW!
All too often people seem to adhere to a strict set of
rules (protocol) when it comes to entertaining with wine and
food. What's that all about? It's time to learn how to do it
differently. Listen to the way Master Sommelier Eddie
Osterland would like to see you do it.
Go way beyond the expectations of your clients/guests:
Use the right glasses, use large-format bottles, chill
the reds, decant the wines, serve the best foods and wines
first, go with pairs of wines that teach your guests
about food-wines. Push the envelope and entertain from the
position of Power...your guests will be impressed!
Passport to the Wines of the World
Use Eddie to custom design an international wine
tasting reception to "kick-off" your
meeting. This can be either a pre-dinner wine and light food
reception, or it can replace dinner if done with more
substantial hors d’oeuvres. Participants will be issued
Passports that direct them to various stations that
feature delicious wines and appetizer combinations from the
most famous wine producing regions of the world. Eddie will
work with your chef to create these unique food and wine
combinations. These can include selections from France,
Italy, Spain and Germany, to New Zealand, Australia,
Argentina and Chile as well as the United States.
Meet America's 1st Master Sommelier!
Eddie will be on hand to answer one-on-one questions. This
wine tasting reception causes people to move around the
room. This creates a good opportunity for networking and
building rapport amongst attendees. Often people feel
uncomfortable at these receptions, feeling that they have to
make some idle "chit-chat". Eddie selects unique food-wines,
strategically chosen to enhance the hors d'oeuvres, which
offers them something to talk about. People never bring pens
and paper to events, and therefore never remember what
specific vintages or precise food & wine pairings they
experience. The Passport they are issued
delineates all of the food and wine of the evening, and thus
serves as a useful and informative souvenir of your event.
Quest for the Best: Discover the Finest Wines
of the World
Many people haven't had the opportunity to experience
truly great wines--wines that, once tasted, become indelible
experiences of a lifetime. Because of this, Eddie takes
great delight in selecting tasting themes that are limited
only by one's imagination.
Possibilities include explorations into the famous
regions of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italy and California.
Horizontal tastings: i.e. wines from different wine
producers all focused on one famous vintage. Vertical
tastings: i.e. a series of wines from the same wine producer
from different vintages. Comparative International tastings:
here the best of California are compared with the same grape
variety from France in order to see the stylistic
differences between them.
Wines are chosen according to the budget of the
client, and in some cases are shipped in from the source
