You

We're ordering the steak and the salmon. Could you recommend wines to pair with those?

牛排配赤霞珠——酒体饱满单宁好。三文鱼配霞多丽很合适。

The Cab is $16 a glass and the Chardonnay is $14. We also offer a half bottle of each if you'd prefer.

Let's do glasses for now. Can we taste them first?

先按杯点吧。可以先尝尝吗?

The Cabernet is perfect. But the Chardonnay is a bit too oaky for me. Do you have anything lighter?

赤霞珠很好。但霞多丽橡木味太重了。有清淡点的吗?

How about a Sauvignon Blanc? It's crisp and citrusy, pairs beautifully with fish.
