The friendliness and professionalism of the entire Gran Melia staff is to be commended for delivering an above-and-beyond experience. The entire front line and back of house were nothing short of awesome.

Wine Cellar Special
Posted September 27, 2009
With a storage capacity for 1,500 bottles of wine divided into 230 labels from the best wine regions in the world, the wine cellar of "Tempo", the most gourmet and high flying culinary option in the universe of services offered by the Hotel Gran Melia Cancun, is without a doubt one of the most frequented in the entire destination. Carlos Pérez, the food and beverage director of this great establishment, which belongs to the Sol Meliá group and is catalogued among the best
resorts in the Mexican Caribbean, takes us on a journey of emotional accents and flavors to discover one of the areas displayed with most pride by the hotel, the exclusive wine cellar where Mexican wine also has a distinguished
place and is represented by 40 labels.

The principle wine experts from Ensenada are constantly invited to give talks in order to promote domestically produced wine and thus ensure the wine cellar remains versatile in this respect, and hence the concept of being the only one which has, not one, but two renowned sommeliers: Markus Yuke and Carlos Duarte.

They also maintain constant contact and feedback with wine producers and experts such as Wente, Mondavi, Chateau Lafitte and Pesquera. In turn they train the "Tempo" restaurant's dining room staff to keep them up to date with wine trends and be able to make knowledgeable recommendations to diners.

An elegant table is kept inside this wine cellar for private tastings on Thursdays, showing that wine is promoted there like in no other place. Also emblematic of the hotel is the 4 Diamond "Ku-nah" (which means "Temple of Taste") cellar, which has Mexican wine, as well as the most exclusive collection of champagnes with a stock of 18 different labels; luxury which is worth experiencing.
Additionally, tequila also has a prominent place, with a collection of 40 brands altogether, both as an aperitif or a digestive, and tastings are held on Wednesdays. The rarest and most valued brands have been chosen one by one,
such as Don Julio Real, Reserva de la Familia, Clase Azul, Delice or Selección Suprema Herradura.
