Three Foods to Pair with Merlot
•Download as PPTX, PDF•
0 likes•209 views
Merlot is a versatile red wine that pairs well with richly sauced pasta and meatloaf due to its medium body. Riper Merlots complement bold dishes like cheeseburgers and braised short ribs, while classic French Merlots are excellent matches for beef Wellington, pork chops, and leg of lamb. However, Merlot generally does not pair favorably with light fish, creamy sauces, or citrus-forward foods.

Trends in Information Technology
The information technology (IT) sector is undergoing massive expansion. Many companies are keen to expand in this area because of the potential it promises. In this scenario, keeping tabs on the trends shaping the IT sector becomes more important than ever.

Today, information and communication technology (ICT) is an essential tool that sustains and supports business. ICT-based applications and innovations are now major change drivers that enhance economic growth and organizational performance.
The Diversity in Napa Valley AVAs
Napa Valley is one of the most famous vintner locations worldwide, despite producing only 4 percent of wine in California and 0.4 percent of the world’s supply. The favorable soil and weather conditions that mimic the Italian Mediterranean climate are advantageous for winemaking and have given the region widespread acclaim.
In the earlier days of winemaking, the effect of soil and climate differences weren't well understood, with wineries growing different grape sorts side by side. However, the industry has advanced, with expanding knowledge and technological advancements in recent decades. The various soil types and climate conditions around Napa Valley have allowed local vineyards to showcase the particular benefits of specific locations within the valley for certain grape varieties.
Napa Valley is considered an AVA (American Viticultural Area), gaining that status in 1981, but has 16 smaller AVAs nestled inside. The number of AVAs is evocative of the enormous potential this region has in delivering some of the best wines in the world.
The southernmost AVA, Los Carneros, has primarily clay-based soil and is highly affected by the winds blowing inward from San Pablo Bay. With a cool temperature year-round, it specializes in Pinot Noir and Merlot wines.
Coombsville and Wild Horse Valley are the furthest southeastern AVAs, with relatively low temperatures year-round. Both AVAs have primarily volcanic soil, which is incredibly fertile. Coombsville wineries specialize in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah wines. Wild Horse Valley’s altitude and lack of water retention make it more demanding to grow grapes in, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay specialties of this AVA.
IT Provides Information and Control to Management
A longtime executive in the San Francisco Bay Area, Antoine Chaya serves as senior director for strategic accounts at software company Oracle in Redwood Shores, California. Antoine Chaya earned his MBA and PhD at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he co-authored the study “Analyzing Cost-Effectiveness of Organizations: The Impact of Information Spending,” published in the Journal of Management Information Systems, 1996.
Analyzing the information technology (IT) budgets of more than 400 medium and large-sized US companies, the study revealed that the higher the IT investment, the lower the average production costs and average total costs. The research did not show that higher IT investments were related to lower labor costs. According to the study, the main benefit of IT was the information and control afforded to management. It had less to do with substituting labor with IT capital (automation), which is usually considered the primary IT investment goal.
As companies expand, they attain production process economies of scale. IT enables management to have improved organization of goods and services output and better management, control, and tracking of operations. Also, due to IT, the growth of economies of scale in production does not come with proportionally higher increases in monitoring and control expenditures.
Why Investing in Information Technology Is Crucial for Business
Las Vegas resident Antoine Chaya works as senior director of strategic accounts for Oracle Corporation. With a PhD in information technology management, Antoine Chaya has experience with information technology investment in businesses and has conducted scholarly research on the subject. To succeed in today's climate, a business must focus appropriate attention and resources on information technology.
Investing in IT helps build a competitive advantage by giving a business the tools it needs to be more efficient and profitable in a world where technology is constantly evolving. By adopting newer technologies, a company can increase employee productivity and make its operations more efficient.
Security is a top priority, since hackers and other cybercriminals get more advanced every year. Security breaches can cause problems for a business and its employees. An investment in information technology security ensures private data remains private.
Information technology investment also increases employee morale. With the right technologies, employees work more efficiently and communicate more effectively.
IT Investment - A Cost Effective Management Tactic
Antoine Chaya published a research paper in 1996 analyzing how IT investments impact production costs in over 400 American corporations. The study found that higher IT budgets were correlated with lower production costs and total costs, but also higher overhead costs. While IT investment did not reduce labor costs, the research concluded that IT can be a cost-effective management tactic by cutting overall company costs.

Analysis of Links Between IT Investments and Financial Performance
Antoine Chaya and Sabyasachi Mitra presented a 1996 study analyzing the relationship between IT investments and organizational performance using data from over 600 US companies. The study found an inverse relationship between operating expenses and IT investment, suggesting that higher IT spending led to lower operating costs. It also found that firms experience a lag between making IT investments and realizing financial benefits from those investments. Today, IT executives still aim to understand the return on investment from technology projects and seek measurable impacts like revenue increases or cost reductions.

Three Foods to Pair with Merlot
- 1. Three Foods to Pair with Merlot By Antoine Chaya
- 2. Introduction • Antoine Chaya currently serves as senior director of strategic accounts with the Oracle Corporation in Redwood Shores, California. Aside from his work in the software sector, Antoine Chaya enjoys sampling wines from the Napa Valley region in Northern California. The red wine Merlot has seen a surge in popularity in recent years after falling from favor around the middle of the last decade.
- 3. Merlot Pairings • Merlot is a versatile wine that pairs well with a number of foods. Thanks to their medium-bodied nature, many Merlots stand up well to richly sauced dishes like pasta and meatloaf. The riper Merlots pair well with bold dishes, such as cheeseburgers and braised short ribs, while classic Merlots from France serve as an excellent complement to beef Wellington, pork chops, and leg of lamb. Although Merlot is a versatile wine, it typically does not pair well with light fish, dishes with creamy sauces, or citrus-heavy presentations.
