Only show line of code on a specific page

Question

I have a bunch of different menu pages (using custom fields) for a local restaurant and want to show a PDF menu only one one of these pages. I am trying to add a line of code to the template for the Menu pages that only shows up on the page with the slug 'wine-list'.

Here is what I did but it does not work:

<?php if(is_single( 'wine-list' )){
    echo '<a href="LINK-TO-PDF.pdf" target="_blank">View our full wine list</a>'; 
}
else{} ?>

Why even use your conditional statement? Just put the link on "that" page. — Funk Forty Niner, Apr 28 '14 at 15:26
Why not... HTML is HTML, that's what I do with some of the WordPress sites I administer. What's so special about "that" particular template? Is it because it doesn't let you hard code it? — Funk Forty Niner, Apr 28 '14 at 15:30
Where you already have echo'ed code with existing links/content and inside PHP, just do `echo 'View our full wine list';` as you have it now. You don't even need the conditional statement. If outside of PHP, just do `View our full wine list` — Funk Forty Niner, Apr 28 '14 at 15:32
@Fred-ii- if he did that it wouldn't show up on ONLY the wine-list page but every page. — Howdy_McGee, Apr 28 '14 at 15:34
Is there a reason you can't link the PDF in the post content on the backend of WordPress? — Howdy_McGee, Apr 28 '14 at 15:36
@Howdy_McGee there is a reason but I am not skilled enough to tell you why. Mark's response below worked. — mdnash, Apr 28 '14 at 15:45

use the if is_page

<?php if(is_page( 'wine-list' )){
    echo '<a href="LINK-TO-PDF.pdf" target="_blank">View our full wine list</a>'; 
}
else{} ?>

I'm not sure if `is_page()` will work for testing on a Single Blog Post. – Howdy_McGee Apr 28 '14 at 15:40
