Welcome aboard! One of the beauties of cruising is that you unpack once, yet enjoy many destinations. While onboard the ship you can also explore the world’s wine destinations, sip by sip. As a Master Sommelier, I’m often asked: How should I navigate the wine list? Well, if you read the wine list from right to left (price first!) you are not alone - everyone loves a great deal. The wine list you are holding offers amazing quality for the price at every level, and that’s why I am proud to be associated with the Norwegian Cruise Line wine program. For example, take a moment to check out Andrea’s Picks list. It is not a “reserve” list of our most expensive bottles. Rather, it is a short-list of wines that in my blind tastings equal or beat their competitors at 2-3 times the price. We have arranged the wines in each section from lightest to fullest in body. Therefore, if you are looking at the Chardonnay section, the lightest Chardonnay is on top, the fullest and most intense is on the bottom. This will help you to easily match your personal taste with the meal you have chosen. Last but not least: go with what you know. If you see a wine you love, you will love drinking it even more while on vacation! Norwegian Cruise Line and I are excited to share these wines with you. For more quick tips on wine tasting and pairing, check out my fun, quick videos on the onboard media channel. I am eager for your feedback and hope you will connect with me on my website at www.andreawine.com/ncl where we have video tasting notes on every wine that Norwegian and I have chosen for your enjoyment.

Welcome aboard!One of the beauties of cruising is that you unpack once, yet enjoy many destinations. While onboard the ship you can also explore the world’s wine destinations, sip by sip.

As a Master Sommelier, I’m often asked: How should I navigate the wine list? Well, if you read the wine list from right to left (price first!) you are not alone - everyone loves a great deal. The wine list you are holding offers amazing quality for the price at every level, and that’s why I am proud to be associated with the Norwegian Cruise Line wine program.

For example, take a moment to check out Andrea’s Picks list. It is not a “reserve” list of our most expensive bottles. Rather, it is a short-list of wines that in my blind tastings equal or beat their competitors at 2-3 times the price.

We have arranged the wines in each section from lightest to fullest in body. Therefore, if you are looking at the Chardonnay section, the lightest Chardonnay is on top, the fullest and most intense is on the bottom. This will help you to easily match your personal taste with the meal you have chosen.

Last but not least: go with what you know. If you see a wine you love, you will love drinking it even more while on vacation!

Norwegian Cruise Line and I are excited to share these wines with you. For more quick tips on wine tasting and pairing, check out my fun, quick videos on the onboard media channel. I am eager for your feedback and hope you will connect with me on my website at www.andreawine.com/ncl where we have video tasting notes on every wine that Norwegian and I have chosen for your enjoyment.

Happy cruising! Andrea Robinson, Master Sommelier
