Answer
To present the wine, the host should stand on the right-hand side of the guest. He or she should hold the wine selected on a service cloth in their hand with the label facing towards the host. Present the wine to the host while stating the name and vintage of the wine to confirm that it is the correct one. Allow the host to feel the temperature of the wine should he or she wish to. Open the bottle once the host is satisfied.

The wine is not suitable because Riesling is a white wine and beef stew is a red meat that pairs well with a red wine.
