Wine List - World Of Fine Wine
“To judge by all the reverence they are accorded, you'd think chefs were the most interesting people on the planet. In truth, they are sometimes not even the most interesting people in their own restaurants. Often, that distinction belongs to the sommelier. Not only are their life experiences frequently more varied than those of many chefs—wine cellars are crawling with academic overachievers and white-collar refugees—their motivations are also quite different. While high-end restaurant cooking in the United States is increasingly marked by the pursuit of celebrity and lucre, wine service is generally guided by another impulse: a desire to educate and enthuse” Mike Steinberger, Slate Magazine.

By the Bottle Champagne First things first, Champagne is the name of a region in Northern France and it lends its name to the sparkling wines produced in this region, under a (strict) set of rules and guidelines. The white chalky soils, the rutheless climatic conditions, centuries of experience and technical knowhow and above all - unbridled pride and passion, all of these come together to produce these exhilarating bubbles. 1 NV Vertus 495 Duval Leroy Brut 10 NV Bollinger Special Cuvée Aÿ 690 7 NV Jacquesson Cuvée No. 734 Brut Dizy 760 8 NV Gosset Grande Réserve Aÿ 795 9 NV Pol Roger Brut Épernay 795 11 NV Joseph Perrier Grand Brut Châlons-en-Champagne 760 2 NV Laurent-Perrier Rosé Brut Tours-sur-Marne 1100 3 NV Mumm Brut Rosé Reims 550 Sparkling Wines Feel like bubbles, but not champagne ?
