The other half of the guests were the member châteaus of the 1855 Grand Cru Classé federation, which are considered the top most historic and exceptional wine estates in Bordeaux. Of course, it was Napoléon III who initiated the classification of these grand wine estates back in 1855, hence the name, <a href="https://www.bordeaux.com/us/Our-Terroir/Classifications/Grand-Cru-Classes-en-1855" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conseils Grand Cru Classé 1855</a>.</p><blockquote><h2><span style="color:rgb(255,204,0)">In this classification, only Yquem carries the distinction for Sautternes-Barsac as <a style="color:rgb(255,204,0)" href="http://www.sauternes1855barsac.com/fr/rub_06.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier Cru Supérieur</a>. </span></h2></blockquote><p>[gallery ids="621,620,623,622" type="rectangular"]</p><p><span style="color:rgb(255,204,0)"><em>photos by Paige Donner copyright 2019 </em></span></p><p>At the podium in this exquisite glass structure set amidst these prized, sweet vines, M.

It was then that he wrote to then President George Washington of this exquisite elixir he had discovered in Sauternes at a Château named Yquem. He sent the esteemed General a few sample bottles of this sweet wine. Once Washington had tasted it, he sent Jefferson back down on a diplomatic mission to Bordeaux to order 30 cases of this Grand Vin at which time Jefferson said, 'I'm ordering 30 cases for General Washington and you can add, please, an additional 12 cases for myself." That was the 1784 vintage.</p><p>This would have been a full 65 years or so before the 1855 classification. Which goes to show you that our American Founding Fathers can and did have good taste in fine French wine. </p><p>When Jefferson fell in love with these wines, the estate was headed by a woman, coincidentally (or perhaps not so coincidentally, given the Jeffersonian reputation). In any case, Françoise Joséphine de Sauvage, was a young widow by 1788 and found herself in the position of having to manage an estate that at one point during the Middle Ages belonged to the King of England (who was simultaneously the Duke of Aquitaine). She further broke ground, literally and figuratively, when in 1826 she built a new wine cellar. This, it is said, is what transformed the estate into a business and helped create its international reputation. </p><p> </p><h2><span style="color:rgb(255,204,0)">********************************************************</span></h2><p>Seated at the table / present at the dinner with M. Arnault and the '<em>Ambassadrice' </em>were a who's who of French business: Martin Bouygues (Bouygues), Xavier Niel (founder-owner of Free), Former Economy Minister Thierry Breton (CEO of Atos), the new Mayor of Bordeaux Nicolas Florian (who just stepped in to fill Alain Juppé 's former post as he heads to take his position with the French Supreme Court in Paris), le designer Philippe Starck, the owner of Château Lafite Eric de Rothschild, and the exceptionally gracious, humble, kind and unassuming CEO of Groupe Roederer Frédéric Rouzaud, the wine glass maker Maximilian Riedel, and the new head of Vinexpo and former Moet-Hennessy man Christophe Navarre (Vinexpo-Global)… </p><p><strong>Groundbreaking however from Monday evening, in terms of the direction of viticulture, was Arnault's announcement that he intends to take his landmark Bordelais châteaus certified organic and, 'as a way to continue their 400 year history of excellence," he stated that they would be taking their vineyards towards bio-dynamic cultivation even in the coming years. He stated that this is the direction that vineyard cultivation needs to go in and that the grand châteaus such as theirs, and those who were represented there that evening, must set the example. </strong></p><p>For many decades now the most famous organic and bio-dynamic vineyard of the <a href="https://www.bordeaux-tradition.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Classement-de-18553.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grand Cru Classé 1855 </a>estates is Pontet-Canet in Pauillac.

He noted that it takes 3 years once you start the application process for organic certification. He also pointed out that in Pomerol in 2018 they were hit hard by mildew and the loss of the harvest was significant. He concedes, however, that bio-dynamic cultivation is the future and the path forward.</p><p><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-633" src="https://bordeauxfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/chateau-yquem-may-13-2019-copyright-sam_0126.jpg" alt="Chateau Yquem May 13 2019 copyright SAM_0126" width="2816" height="2112"></p><p><span style="color:rgb(255,204,0)"><em>photo by Paige Donner copyright 2019 </em></span></p><p>Notable on the Right Bank is <a href="http://www.agence-fleurie.com/2012/02/portraits-d%E2%80%99acteurs-alain-moueix/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Château Fonroque</a> which Alain Moueix began converting into biodynamic vineyards in 2002. The first AB (the certified organic) label was carried by their 2006 bottles and ECOCERT (biodynamic) adherent since 2005. He was always a forerunner in this field and even as recently as only a decade ago, was still considered an outlier. </p><p>So this announcement by the CEO of LVMH, which controls in total about 70 wine and spirits estates or brands around the world including California, China as well as France, is a huge step forward in terms of recognizing the 'bastard child' that has been biodynamic vineyard cultivation practices these past decades, at least in 'Big Wine'. It is also worth noting that LVMH is the number one Luxury Group in the world. </p><blockquote><h2><span style="color:rgb(255,204,0)">Honestly, listening to M.

It's C'est la vie. </span></p><p style="font-size:small">"<span style="font-size:large">Ç la vie," sums up so much about life. Perhaps only 'I love you' are three words more potent and full of meaning. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">C'est la vie is both acceptance and resignation. It's that recognition of changing the things we can and accepting the things we cannot change. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">This past month of April in Paris has been most certainly a C'est la vie point in time. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">As the world stood and watched Notre Dame Cathedral burn, in people's shocked and stricken faces, there was a sense of powerlessness in the destruction of this great monolith of love. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">Whether one is Catholic or not Catholic, Christian or perhaps not even practicing any kind of religion, the Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris is so symbolic of French culture, of Paris, of the uniting of the world's peoples in prayer and love, that watching it consumed in flames, was a devastating and heartbreaking moment. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">As I stood on Pont de la Tournelle, at 8pm on Monday April 15<sup>th</sup>, watching my beloved neighborhood church burn in bright red and orange flames, I couldn't contain my sorrow. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">But my overwhelming sorrow was not just for the church. My father had passed away only days before, and watching the spire of Notre Dame burn felt like watching my father' funeral pyre. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">The great church came within about 30 minutes of being completely destroyed. But in the end, France's firefighters were able to save it.</span></p><p style="font-size:small"><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7692" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/notre-dame-de-paris-incendie-day-after-april-16-2019-photo-by-paige-donner-copyright-2019-img_4738.jpg" alt="Notre Dame de Paris Incendie Day After April 16 2019 photo by Paige Donner copyright 2019 IMG_4738" width="1951" height="1933"></p><p style="font-size:small">Photo taken April 16, 2019 7am Paris time; photo by Paige Donner copyright 2019</p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">It has been just over a week now since the fire. It has been roughly about the same amount of time since my father's soul and spirit have been set free from his human body. For if anything, that is the message I'm getting from my meditations this week. It's that God's love and the human spirit are eternal. And whether they are housed in a church or in a human body, or liberated from these outward structures, they live on. They exist. In eternity. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">They live now in an invisible realm. But in God's love, they exist eternally. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">The <em>Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris</em> survived on this earth for 850 years without destruction or significant damage. That historical fact changed on April 15<sup>th , 2019</sup></span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">My father, Eugene Martin Donner, survived on this Earth for 87 years, without significant damage or destruction. That historical fact changed on April 11<sup>th</sup>, or 12<sup>th</sup> if you consider Paris time, 2019. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">A very strange, and even somewhat spooky coincidence, is that the architect of the spire that burned along with Notre Dame's roof, was named Eugène Viollet Le Duc. Of course it is just a coincidence that my father and he both shared the same first name. But it feels significant, in a sort of God's winking kind of way, nonetheless.</span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">Both the spire of Notre Dame and my father, who had a terrific sense of wit, comedy and irony – his favorite writer was Mark Twain - and who resembled to a great degree Jean Paul Belmondo, and who had a heart and soul full of love for humanity, in all its forms, colors and expressions, will be sorely and sadly missed.</span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">I thank him for so many things, including his unwavering love for me, but also for instilling in me such a great appreciation for good food and wine. It's thanks to him that I was set forth on this fascinating discovery of God's and Earth's fruits and elixirs. As Benjamin Franklin once said,</span></p><blockquote style="font-size:small"><p><span style="font-size:large"> Wine is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.</span></p></blockquote><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large"> My father always seconded that. Cheers to you Pops. May God's love keep you eternally forevermore. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"> </p><hr style="font-size:small"><hr style="font-size:small"><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">Our April show of <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1Od5MmaH3dU0Ialsd1PWuk" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">Paris GOODfood+wine</span></a> is one focused on wines.</span></p><p style="font-size:small"> </p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">First we speak to <span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">Samuel Montgermont</span> of Domaine and Clos St. Patrice in the Côte du Rhône. </span></p><div style="font-size:small"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEE6Lrj1lhXkU9LH3UzojDGeNPr-vI6W8d2WeVpFav4yiyfr8DrN9TGJUi4GBC_rPEhyjwCvg1xl5fIK6rVKnTZpMRCgz9PKQOw7VDLB0hZCqBIBy6qIa6lwKu7VOeaaPGZCtrc-nW_kkq/s1600/Samuel+Montgermont+April+16+2019+photo+by+Paige+Donner+copyirght+IMG_0233-745690.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEE6Lrj1lhXkU9LH3UzojDGeNPr-vI6W8d2WeVpFav4yiyfr8DrN9TGJUi4GBC_rPEhyjwCvg1xl5fIK6rVKnTZpMRCgz9PKQOw7VDLB0hZCqBIBy6qIa6lwKu7VOeaaPGZCtrc-nW_kkq/s320/Samuel+Montgermont+April+16+2019+photo+by+Paige+Donner+copyirght+IMG_0233-745690.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6684573484459184210" /></a><br></div><p style="font-size:small">Pictured here: Samuel Montgermont of Domaine St. Patrice, Côte du Rhône. photos by Paige Donner copyright 2019. </p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">With his wines, we are firmly in Chateaneuf-du-Pape territory.

Nuits St. Georges is, of course, one of the most prestige areas just outside of Beaune in Burgundy wine country. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">Along with opening up this Cuverie in 2018, they have also now instigated daily wine estate tours. It is open to the public, you just have to call and reserve in advance. The tour includes a visit to the tank room, also outside into the ancient convent's gardens dating all the way back to 1717, and then concludes with a barrel tasting and then a tasting of a total of 6 of their wines in the historical Ursuline cellars down below. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">It is one of the most comprehensive, friendly, and educational wine tours you will get in all of France, and certainly in Burgundy, that is open to the public. It lasts about an hour and a half and costs only €32.

Especially so because it isn't always easy to find a sweet wine that expresses that balance between the honey-like sweetness brought on by the natural botyritis and a fresh acidity that keeps it fresh with every sip. The <span style="color:rgb(255,204,0)">Clarendelle Amberwine</span> achieves this by using both methods: grapes are allowed to develop botyritis as in the grand tradition of Sauternes, and then others are late harvest which allow the grapes to sweeten on the vine with their ripe maturity. The wine takes its name, Amber, from the beautiful color achieved by this assemblage. The varietals in this fine wine are the traditional Graves Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc with a bit of Muscadelle. </span></p><p style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:large">The wines are available widely now.

Some disorders where it has notably had positive effects is on Immune Dysfunction, Thyroid, Chronic Infection, Psoriosis and Digestion. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">For Brain Inflammation, beneficial effects have been seen to alleviate Migraine, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Insomnia and even Epilepsy. It's also a known pain reliever as well as promotes detoxification. I highly encourage you to watch this short video explaining, in layman's terms, cannabidiol's beneficial effects on the human body . </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">As you already know, if you listened to my last show, I have just released a cookbook, <a href="https://www.amazon.fr/CBD-Caf%C3%A9-Cookbook-Paige-Donner/dp/1797086022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Le CBD Café Cookbook</a>, that infuses quick'n'easy recipes with CBD oil.

You know the chef I mean, the one whose 3-Michelin starred Parisian all-vegetable restaurant became world-famous precisely because of the chef's skill with, and quality of, his vegetables.</p><h2 style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"><span style="color:rgb(0,128,0)">Of course I am referring to Chef Alain Passard and his one-of-a-kind Arpége.</span></h2><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"><font color="#f1c232">************** </font><font color="#20124d">READ FULL POST WITH PICTURES ON <a href="http://localfoodandwine.wordpress.com/">LOCALFOODANDWINE.WORDPRESS.com </a></font><font color="#f1c232">**************</font> <br></p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">In an era when many 3-Michelin star chefs find it challenging to make their prestige restaurants profitable, and so open up bistros and branded niche foods in multiple locations and dozens of countries, this chef has chosen to remain with one, and one only, iconic, landmark dining legend. </p><blockquote style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"><p><strong><span style="color:rgb(51,153,102)">"Je suis bien chez moi," he declares, when asked. "I like being in my own kitchens. I like being 'at home' where everything is familiar. I don't feel the need to go elsewhere, or open up a global empire of restaurants...". </span></strong></p></blockquote><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">In other words, he seems pretty happy.</p><p style=""><font color="#f1c232">************** </font><font color="#20124d">READ FULL POST WITH PICTURES ON <a href="http://LOCALFOODANDWINE.WORDPRESS.com">LOCALFOODANDWINE.WORDPRESS.com </a></font><font color="#f1c232">**************</font></p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">Certainly one of the brilliant components to his success is his recognition of his raw materials, in this case vegetables. They must be treated, he advises, with jewel-like reverence and care. </p><blockquote style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"><p><strong><span style="color:rgb(51,153,102)">"The gardener is as important as the chef, " said Alain Passard at lunch last week, "At least until harvest time and up until the vegetables arrive in my kitchens." </span></strong></p></blockquote><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"><font color="#f1c232">************** </font><font color="#20124d">READ FULL POST WITH PICTURES ON <a href="http://localfoodandwine.wordpress.com/">LOCALFOODANDWINE.WORDPRESS.com </a></font><font color="#f1c232">**************</font> <br></p><font color="#20124d"><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7635" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/alain-passard-oenoteam-chateau-normandy-march-11-2019-photo-by-paige-donner-copyright-img_9544.jpg" alt="Alain Passard &amp; Oenoteam Chateau Normandy March 11 2019 photo by Paige Donner Copyright IMG_9544" width="2272" height="1704"> Lunch, before it has met with Chef Passard's formidable skill[/caption]</font><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">This lovingly restored Château in Normandy is not the only gardens he cultivates and possesses. He started on this quest for the perfect herbs and vegetables several decades ago with his first vegetables cultivated on his land in Sarthe. Up here in Normandy, about an hour and 15 minutes from Paris, is, however, the space where he has room to receive guests. On March 11th, thanks to Oenoteam, a Libourne (Bordeaux) based team of enologists, some 30 of us had the privilege and delight to be Chef Passard's guests for lunch. </p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"><br></p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">No meat passed our lips that day at lunch. Though we dined on<em> boeuf bourguignon</em> (in a blind tasting anyone would have sworn to it) and a miniature hamburger-slider - each dish based on the magic of a beetroot under the care, cultivation, guidance and manipulation of Chef Passard's creativity and skillful tool sets. </p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">Wines were provided by Oenoteam, whose wine consulting includes over 200 clients in both the Left and Right banks of Bordeaux, as well as clients in Southwest France, the Loire and other prestige regions of France. The team is: Stéphane Toutoundji, Thomas Duclos, Julien Belle and Marie-Laure Badet Murat. Their philosophy is to allow wines their own expression, rather than to impose a style onto a wine. <a href="https://www.oenoteam.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oenoteam.</a> </p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7633" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/alain-passard-oenoteam-chateau-normandy-march-11-2019-photo-by-paige-donner-copyright-img_9542.jpg" alt="Alain Passard &amp; Oenoteam Chateau Normandy March 11 2019 photo by Paige Donner Copyright IMG_9542" width="2224" height="1668"></p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"> </p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">It's not always easy to pair wines with vegetables and all-vegetable meals. But each of the choices here, including a 2015 Pomerol, were right on the mark. </p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">As a parting shot, the chef challenged us all to return with a wine for him to pair with Asparagus. : ) </p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">For groups interested in booking the chef's Château Normandy for a private gathering of their own, contact the Chef's team @ <a href="http://www.alain-passard.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alain-passard.com/en/</a></p><p style="color:rgb(32,18,77)">And, local's TIP: (Find it on his website)</p><blockquote style="color:rgb(32,18,77)"><h2><strong><span style="color:rgb(51,153,102)"><i>Bring home a piece of Arpège…</i></span></strong></h2><p>Every morning, our gardeners harvest vegetables & fruits that are then served at the restaurant.

I came across this phrase recently listening to a science program on the radio about how human taste buds function. It was scientifically explained that in fact with each subsequent bite of food, there is a diminishing sensory enjoyment insofar as the taste explosion in your mouth. So in this season of joyful excess, we can reassure ourselves that the feast is indeed in the first bite. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large"><b>INTERVIEWS:</b></span></p><ul><li><p><span style="font-size:large"><b>Nina M<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">é</span>tayer, Executive Pastry Chef, Caf<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">é</span> Pouchkine: Start Time - 7' 30 seconds</b></span></p></li></ul><p><img class="gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7572 gmail-aligncenter" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/Nina-Metayer-Experience-Vignettelarge.jpg" alt="Nina Metayer Experience-Vignettelarge" width="400" height="259"></p><ul><li><p><span style="font-size:large"><b>Chef Ludo Lefebvre of Trois Mec, Los Angeles: Start Time - 25' 49 seconds</b></span></p></li></ul><p><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7573" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/Ludo-Lefebvre-20150214_quote_banner.jpg" alt="Ludo Lefebvre 20150214_quote_banner" width="871" height="432"></p><h2 style="text-align:center"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"><a style="color:rgb(255,0,0)" href="https://soundcloud.com/paigedonner/42-chefs-nina-metayer-ludo-lefebvre-holidays-2018-the-feast-is-in-the-first-bite" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE PODCAST</a></span></h2><p style="text-align:center"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/paigedonner/42-chefs-nina-metayer-ludo-lefebvre-holidays-2018-the-feast-is-in-the-first-bite" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7455 gmail-aligncenter" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/soundcloud.png" alt="soundcloud" width="281" height="152"></a></p><p><span style="font-size:large">As I sit here at my desk in my office in the Marais recording this, I realize that this 2018 holiday season here in Paris will go down in history as the Yellow Christmas.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">This month of Saturday protests of the GiletsJaunes, the Yellow Vests, here in Paris have marked the season with closed shops and whole shopping districts such as the Champs Elysées, Saint Germain des Prés, and even here, in the normally bustling Marais, shuttering their doors and boarding their windows.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">Even as I write this, a parade of protesters are marching in the street just below my window. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">But perhaps the timing is truly right on message, because when many of us can celebrate a time of plenty and abundance, with joyful family members, lots of good things to eat and drink, and happy times all around, it's important to remember that for an ever-growing segment of the French population, indeed the world's population, this is not necessarily the case. Not during the holidays, and not during the rest of the year. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">This is what we have come to call the Working Poor. People who don't sit idly by or accept handouts but in fact put in full work weeks and still cannot make ends meet for themselves or their children or their elderly dependents. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">This holiday show, then, is dedicated to all those mothers and fathers and adult children of elderly parents whose desperation has brought them to the streets of Paris these past weekends to demonstrate and protest in what can only be called a desperate cry for help. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">As we raise our glasses and forks in good cheer this year, let's generously remember all those who may be less fortunate than ourselves.</span></p><h2 style="text-align:center"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">***</span></h2><p><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7575" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/Episode-42-cover-photo-dhristmas.jpg" alt="Episode 42 cover photo dhristmas" width="955" height="637"></p><p><span style="font-size:large">Another theme of this show is traditions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">As an avid listener of US Public Radio, I heard interview excerpts and snippets following the Thanksgiving holiday of people in the US who eschew the traditional holiday meal of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and what we call "the works." </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">And while there is no obligation to respect the traditions of your own country or your adoptive country, I do feel that there is great value in upholding traditions and that this can offer a kind of anchor to our ever-increasingly fragmented society.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">Culinary traditions are a big part of culture. They play an important role in cultural identity. That's something I've learned quite well here in France. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">To this effect, I interviewed one of France's top young pastry chefs for this show.

So, to this effect, in the show notes, you'll find links to Holiday Meal Kits that can be delivered both here in Paris and also in the US. Note that in keeping with American traditions, the link for that meal kit includes a honeybaked ham, and the link to the Paris meal kits includes delivery of fresh oysters by Maison Rostang. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:large">Wishing all of you, listeners and friends and family, a peaceful, joyous holiday season, full of love and good cheer.

Weekly</em>. (Gold subsequently moved onto the <em>Los Angeles Times</em>.) "Jonathan Gold, the food writer for <em>L.A. Weekly</em>, is a hero. I'm hardly the first to notice. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his dedicated and pioneering coverage of all those places in the L.A. area that nobody had ever covered before. (His award was the first for a food writer.) He gave them respect, treating little mom-and-pop noodle shops in strip malls with a degree of importance they hadn't enjoyed before."</p><p>Bourdain added, "He helped give a 'legitimacy' to serious critical analyses of Thai, Vietnamese, inexpensive Mexican, and less appreciated regional cuisines, which hadn't really existed before. He put them on a par with fine dining and wrote about them with as much — if not more — enthusiasm, helping to usher in a (very useful) kind of reverse snobbism, a skepticism about fine dining that has only been helpful and a good thing in the long run." <a href="http://www.bravotv.co.nz/the-feast/this-is-what-anthony-bourdain-said-about-jonathan-gold/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MORE HERE </a></p></blockquote><p>(<span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">Read USA Today's Obituary <a href="https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2018/07/22/jonathan-gold-first-restaurant-critic-win-pulitzer-dies-57/815979002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HERE</a></span>)</p><p><span style="color:rgb(51,153,102)">And <a style="color:rgb(51,153,102)" href="https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2018/06/08/anthony-bourdain-chef-turned-tv-host-dies-61/683957002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HERE </a>for Bourdain</span></p><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/paris-good-food-+-wine-paris/id1054370802?mt=2">Episode 38 of Paris GOODfood+wine</a> features a few of the Best of Season 4.

Its cuisine is specialized in teppanyaki which literally translates to "grilled on an iron platter" from Japanese. </p><blockquote><p>Fresh, seasonal ingredients take pride of place, and the menu has been revised in an original and modern way: <strong>100% French steak</strong> is served alongside <strong>Breton blue lobster</strong>. Le Teppan is quite simply a gastronomic experience symbolic of Parisian life and representative of the French 'art de vivre'.</p></blockquote><p>Chef Marx has restaurants in Japan as well as being the resident Exec.

Avec une approche créative et innovante, TEPPAN propose une cuisine réalisée sur le teppanyaki. "Ce projet n'aurait pas vu le jour sans la volonté commune du Groupe ADP de développer la gastronomie française dans ses aéroports et la capacité de notre Groupe à le réaliser. Ainsi est né un lieu à la fois atypique et très chaleureux, qui propose aux passagers une cuisine originale et de grande qualité. C'est un plaisir de travailler de nouveau avec le chef Thierry Marx. Son amour pour les produits locaux, sa créativité et son savoir-faire donne du sens à ce beau projet et permet de faire redécouvrir le terroir français au plus grand nombre", souligne Matthieu Mercier, Directeur Général Délégué de Lagardère Travel Retail <span class="gmail-il">France</span>. <br><br>Teppanyaki, quèsaco ? <br>Littéralement : « grillé sur une plaque en fer » en japonais. <br><br>Véritable outil de précision permettant une maîtrise parfaite des températures et une cuisine rapide, le Teppanyaki exalte les saveurs des produits proposés. Une cuisine spontanée et rapide, on ne pouvait imaginer une meilleure proposition pour se restaurer, sur le chemin de tous les voyageurs !<br><br>"L'ouverture du Teppan et l'arrivée du chef étoilé Thierry Marx à l'aéroport Paris-Charles de Gaulle témoignent de la montée en gamme de notre offre de restauration. Paris est aujourd'hui la capitale mondiale de la gastronomie observée à travers le monde. Paris, à travers ses aéroports, est la ville qui a le plus de choses à raconter et de nouvelles sensations à offrir", souligne Mathieu Daubert, Directeur Clients du Groupe ADP.<br><br>Spontanéité et <span class="gmail-il">French</span> Touch à la carte !<br>Suivant sa volonté de rendre « le bon » accessible à tous et partout, le Chef s'est associé naturellement à Lagardère Travel Retail <span class="gmail-il">France</span> en ouvrant plusieurs<span class="gmail-il">restaurants</span> dans les lieux de voyage. Toujours avant-gardiste, Thierry Marx propose ici des textures et des saveurs originales, qui font la part belle aux produits locaux de qualité, dans un espace qui associe une restauration à table et un bar exceptionnel. Ainsi est née une carte créative entre tradition et innovation : saumon mariné à la japonaise, entrecôte façon tataki, calamars acidulés aux herbes fraîches ou encore ananas rôti aux épices… <br><br>Tout au long de la journée les cartes et menus s'adaptent au temps des passagers, de quelques minutes à quelques heures, chacun y passe un agréable moment dans un cadre soigné et moderne.<br><br>Planches à partir de 14€, plats dès 19€, Menus à 24€<br>Carte petit déjeuner et Bar<br>Ouvert 7/7 de 6h00 à 22h00<br>01.48.62.90.87<br><br><strong>The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span>, la bistronomie selon Guy Martin</strong><br>Parce que chaque voyage est riche de saveurs, Areas et Paris Aéroport ont l'intime conviction que la gastronomie a toute sa place au sein des aéroports. Areas, la mondiale de restauration de concession d'Elior Group, renouvelle ainsi sa collaboration avec le chef étoilé Guy Martin et propose une table bistronomique contemporaine aux voyageurs de l'aéroport Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle : The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span>.<br><br>Embarquement immédiat pour The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span><br>C'est l'histoire d'un trio passionné par le bien-manger et l'art de vivre à la française. Sous l'impulsion de Paris Aéroport, qui souhaite développer les signatures de grands chefs français à Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle et devenir une vitrine de la gastronomie hexagonale, Areas imagine I Love Paris, inauguré au printemps 2015 dans le hall L du terminal 2E. Le concept correspond parfaitement à ses ambitions : promouvoir les codes de la bistronomie, qualitative et tendance, notamment dans les zones de voyages. C'est le chef Guy Martin, propriétaire du Grand Véfour, qui compose la carte de ce projet exigeant et pionnier. Un succès ! En 2016, I Love Paris est sacré meilleur <span class="gmail-il">restaurant</span> d'aéroport au monde .<br><br>Forts de cette expérience réussie, Areas, Paris Aéroport et Guy Martin décident donc de se lancer dans une nouvelle aventure : The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span>, une brasserie néo-classique, installée cette fois-ci dans le terminal 2F.<br><br>The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span>, un concept de haut vol<br>Derrière The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span>, il y a bien sûr une nouvelle envie. Celle d'offrir à des voyageurs, avant l'embarquement, une expérience digne des adresses les plus courues de la capitale, avec des assiettes emblématiques de la gastronomie française, faites de produits de saison cuisinés de façon inventive et servis dans un cadre convivial et raffiné. <br><br>Alexandre de Palmas, directeur général Areas <span class="gmail-il">France</span> et Europe du Nord, souligne : « Forts du succès du <span class="gmail-il">restaurant</span> I Love Paris, nous avons souhaité faire profiter un plus grand nombre de voyageurs du talent et du savoir-faire du chef étoilé Guy Martin, avec une table bistronomique mettant à l'honneur une cuisine fraîche et accessible, mariant terroir et tradition ».<br><br>« L'ouverture de The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span> revêt un caractère particulier pour Paris Aéroport : le Chef Guy Martin nous renouvelle sa confiance après la très belle réussite qu'est I Love Paris. Notre clientèle internationale souhaite pouvoir retrouver dans nos terminaux l'Excellence culinaire française qui fait tant rêver de par le monde. Pari réussi avec The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span> », souligne Mathieu Daubert, Directeur Clients du Groupe ADP.<br><br>Créer la surprise tout en restant fidèle à ses valeurs d'excellence, pour satisfaire des clients connaisseurs ou curieux, tel était le défi de Guy Martin avec The<span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span>. Il le relève évidemment avec brio et créativité, veillant à l'équilibre des saveurs comme à la provenance des produits. Sa carte, qui fait la part belle au terroir et à la tradition, est néanmoins surprenante, marquée du sceau de sa cuisine inventive. <br><br>Soupe froide de courgette au parfum de verveine ou velouté de carotte à l'orange et au cumin, rôti de veau de lait ou bar de ligne poché aux algues, tarte fine aux pommes reinette, éclats de praline rose, glace vanille, mousse au chocolat au thé matcha ou encore cheesecake au potimarron confit, pistaches de Sicile concassées... Jambon de Bayonne frotté au sel de Salies-de Béarn et maturé lentement entre montagne et océan, foie gras de canard à la cuisson douce, subtilement relevé d'une touche de Saint-Emilion, de poivre noir, de coriandre et de muscade : même pour des planches d'excellentes charcuteries, il fait bon s'attabler chez The <span class="gmail-il">French</span> <span class="gmail-il">Taste</span>. <br><br>L'expérience ne serait pas complète sans un cadre soigné et une équipe de professionnels qui cultivent l'art de recevoir. L'architecte Charles Zana signe le décor inspiré de l'univers du Palais-Royal pour installer une atmosphère accueillante mais sophistiquée. La façade, qui réinterprète les codes des passages parisiens, est une invitation à passer la porte pour découvrir un lieu chaleureux et contemporain. Avec son grand comptoir central et ses tables, son mobilier sur mesure, ses photos, la salle offre une ambiance différente au fil des heures. Le secret ? Un travail particulier sur les lumières qui évoluent selon les moments de la journée, illustration du soin apporté à chaque détail.<br><br>Formules petit-déjeuner, à partir de 9 €<br>Entrées à partir

It's likely just a coincidence that <em>Wine Enthusiast</em> named it their region of the year for 2018, since it has definitely been on its own upswing for quite awhile now. </p><p><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-wp-image-7495" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/gamme-belingard.png" alt="Gamme-Belingard" width="672" height="294"></p><p>When I communicate with fellow wine appreciators from abroad visiting France, I emphasize that for quality:price ratio you can't beat the wines from Bergerac & Duras. Probably its most famous appellation (outside of France, at least) is Monbazillac, which produces the sweet wines full of botyritis-induced honey-stewed apricot notes. </p><p>Of course, nestled in the Périgord region famous for its gastronomic food culture, you would expect the wines to match up to that. Still, for the last several centuries the region has been a bit overshadowed, at least on the export market, by its neighbor just to the northwest, which you may have heard of, called Bordeaux. However, the regions share such close proximity that the far eastern edges of Bordeaux's appellations actually touch up against Bergerac. </p><p>The average, every day wine enthusiast in either France or abroad is not the only type of wine drinker who has become infatuated with this promising region that tends to overdeliver. The English have long staked their claim here as a retirement haven and now even landed wealth from elsewhere has been moving in and renovating chateaus and replanting vineyards as organic. </p><p>Case in point: </p><p> </p><h2><a href="https://www.perigorddecouverte.com/5-33-1693-Le-vignoble-de-Monestier-la-Tour.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chateau Monestier La Tour</a></h2><p><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7493" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/monestier-la-tour-3.jpg" alt="monestier-la-tour-3" width="800" height="533"></p><p>This fully refurbished and renovated chateau produces a wide range but one that is fairly standard for the region: red, white, rosé and sweet. Their wines carry the appellation (AOC) designations of Bergerac, Côte de Bergerac and Saussignac. The vineyards of the chateau literally touch right up against the frontier to the Gironde. </p><p>This idyllic wine producing chateau was bought in 2012 by the Swiss family (Scheufele) who owns Chopard. They just simply fell in love with the region. Since purchasing the historic estate, they became passionate about converting their 27.5 hectares into not just organic but bio-dynamic vineyards. Their efforts are bearing fruit. The winemaker is also advised by the well respected Stpéhane Derenoncourt. </p><p>To try: Côtes de Bergerac Rouge 2015 & Côtes de Bergerac Rouge 2016</p><p>Each are blends of Cabernet Franc and Merlot with the 2016 getting a 5% dose of Malbec, too. </p><p><a href="http://www.chateaumonestierlatour.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Château Monestier La Tour</a></p><p> </p><h2><a href="https://www.belingard.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chateau Bélingard</a></h2><p><img class="gmail-alignnone gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7494" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/maison-43.jpg" alt="Maison-43" width="800" height="439"></p><p>If the château described just above is sort of this region's Cheval Blanc, then Château Bélingard could be its Figeac. Owned and operated by Laurent and Sylvie de Bosredon, the estate has been in the family since 1820. Their 75 hectares are situated in the Périgord, just a few kilometers from Bergerac. </p><p>The château produces reds, whites, rosés and sweet wines. The traditions that allow them to make such fine and elegant wines - their white Reserve 2015 for example is fresh, light and crisp - have been anchored in the family's cellars and methods of elaborating their wines for generations. The Réserve Sec is 70% Sauvignon and 30% Semillon with its freshness belying its 13.5% alcohol level. </p><p>To try: Château Bélingard Réserve Bergerac Sec 2015; Ortus de Château Bélingard Côtes de Bérgerac Rouge; Blanche de Bosredon Monbazillac (perfect with foie gras and/or roquefort).</p><p><a href="https://www.pays-bergerac-tourisme.com/fr/diffusio/fetes-et-manifestations_pomport/visite-guidee-au-chateau-belingard_TFOFMAAQU024V50BM17" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Belingard.com </a></p><hr><hr><h5>ALL MUSIC FREE OF RIGHTS COURTESY <a href="http://FREESOUNDTRACKMUSIC.COM">FREESOUNDTRACKMUSIC.COM</a> JOERG SCHNITZLER KEPLER 62 SYSTEM AND GROOVY PARIS JAZZ BY <a href="http://BENSOUNDMUSIC.COM">BENSOUNDMUSIC.COM</a> FOR SHOW INTRO AND OUTRO.<br>TO CONTACT PAIGE DONNER FOR SPEAKING/HOSTING/PRODUCING <a title="http://paigedonner.info" href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpaigedonner.info" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">PAIGEDONNER.INFO</a><br>FOR MORE INFO ABOUT <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/paris-good-food-wine-paris-first-english-language-radio/id1054370802?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PARIS GOODFOOD+WINE </a>AND A COMPLETE SHOW LINEUP GO TO <a title="https://localfoodandwine.wordpress.com" href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalfoodandwine.wordpress.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">LOCALFOODANDWINE.WORDPRESS.COM</a><br>AND OUR WEBSITE <a title="http://parisfoodandwine.net" href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fparisfoodandwine.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">PARISFOODANDWINE.NET</a><br>INSTAGRAM @<a class="gmail-g-link-user" href="https://soundcloud.com/paigefoodwine">PAIGEFOODWINE</a> TWITTER @<a class="gmail-g-link-user" href="https://soundcloud.com/parisfoodwine">PARISFOODWINE</a></h5><h3>Listen to Paris GOOD food + wine on :</h3><p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/parisfoodwine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class="gmail-aligncenter gmail-wp-image-5679" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/stitcher-300x110.png?w=199&h=73" alt="stitcher-300x110" width="199" height="73"></a></p><p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/parisfoodwine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class="gmail-aligncenter gmail-wp-image-5671" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/tunein-radio-pro-e28093-live-radio-16-3-apk.jpg?w=287&h=140" alt="tunein-radio-pro-e28093-live-radio-16-3-apk" width="150" height="73"></a></p><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/paris-good-food-+-wine-paris/id1054370802?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class="gmail-aligncenter gmail-wp-image-5702" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/itunes-logo5.jpg?w=238&h=89" alt="itunes-logo5" width="238" height="89"></a></p><p><a href="http://www.soundcloud.com/paigedonner" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="gmail-wp-image-6395 gmail-aligncenter" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/soundcloud.png?w=281&h=152" alt="soundcloud" width="166" height="90"></a></p><p>All photos (where noted) copyright 2018 Paige Donner <a href="http://foodwine.photography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FoodWine.photography</a></p><p><i><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/paris-good-food-+-wine-paris/id1054370802?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iTunes – Paris GOODfood+wine / </a></i></p><p>Media Engagements, advertising, speaking and collaborations: contact <strong><a href="http://paigedonner.info/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PaigeDonner.info</a></strong></p> <br></div> </div> <div class="blogger-post-footer">Join Local Food And Wine's Wine Club

Or maybe it's simply because the champagne limited edition by Castelnau designated 'Hors Catégorie' which translates into English as 'priceless' or 'beyond categorization,' is a limited edition unique blend? But there's something about this cuvée that truly makes it exceptional. </p><p><a href="http://cherieduvin.wordpress.com" target="_blank"><img class="m_3992622769237635871gmail-aligncenter m_3992622769237635871gmail-size-large m_3992622769237635871gmail-wp-image-2566" src="https://cherieduvin.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/hors-categorie-2.jpg?w=768" alt="" width="768" height="924"></a></p><p>Each of these limited edition release cuvées under the label <a href="http://horscategorie.champagne-castelnau.fr/en/" target="_blank"><em>Hors Catégorie</em></a> are blended to stand alone. They are not a standard by which other champagnes of the house will be blended, as is the production M.O. in Champagne (with a few exceptions such as Jacquesson). When Ms. Sarcelet blends this cuvée she does so by selecting only the most exceptional wines in the cellar and then delicately and expertly blends them to bring out only the best individual characteristics of each of the singularly vinified cuvées. Each of these champagnes released under this special label or "cuvée" is made to stand alone. </p><p>What's even more extraordinary is that in this current release of <a href="http://www.champagne-castelnau.fr/en/gammes/hors-categorie" target="_blank"><em>Hors Catégorie, CCF 2067</em></a> released on 22nd January, 2018, there is only 5 g. of sugar. But its roundness and its voluptuousness would have even the most expert of champagne connoisseurs guessing otherwise. </p><blockquote><p>" For this second edition, the spirit of Hors Catégorie is ever present. As its fine bubbles burst we are transported to a universe of spice and vanilla notes. A gentle signature of oak is conferred by ageing for 10 months in Burgundy barrels made from wood from the local Argonne forest, and it is this that gives some smoky notes to the blend. An aromatic complexity develops as the wine opens up with scents of toast, candied lemon and delicate minty notes. - <span style="color:rgb(255,204,0)">Elisabeth Sarcelet, <em>Chef de Cave</em>, Champagne Castelnau</span></p></blockquote><p><a href="http://cherieduvin.wordpress.com" target="_blank"><img class="m_3992622769237635871gmail-aligncenter m_3992622769237635871gmail-size-full m_3992622769237635871gmail-wp-image-2567" src="https://cherieduvin.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/1387190931_g1.png" alt="" width="364" height="347"></a></p><p style="text-align:center"><span style="color:rgb(255,204,0)"><em>Elisabeth Sarcelet, Chef de Cave, Champagne Castelnau, pictured above</em></span></p><p>According to the tasting notes, the best wines for this release, Hors Catégorie CCF 2067, were selected mainly from Trépail, Villers-Marlery, Montgueux, Vitryat, Riceys and Montagne Ouest.

That is the premise on which these two new fine chocolate releases are based upon by the <a href="https://inter.valrhona.com/en/discover-our-new-sakanti-bali-68-and-kilti-haiti-66-cuvees">Valrhona</a> team of expert chocolate makers.</p><p><a href="https://localfoodandwine.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=7434" rel="attachment wp-att-7434"><img class="gmail-aligncenter gmail-size-full gmail-wp-image-7434" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/valrhona-cuvees-chocolat-262681541339774976_n.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="560"></a></p><p>Valrhona is based in the Tain l'Hermitage region of central France. Most people don't realize it but the likes of famous chocolatiers (Patrick Roger for example) and patissiers (Pierre Hermé for example) source as much as 140 tons of Valrhona chocolate - per year! - for their masterful creations.</p><p>Championed by <strong>Frédéric Bau</strong>, the Chef Patissier and Creative Director of Valrhona chocolates, each year the famed house sources different specific locally grown cacao that has exceptional aromatic qualities. This year those two "cuvées" have been sourced from Haiti and Bali. The initiative was born in 2008 and falls under the name of Cuvées de Sourceur Valrhona. The cacao that is sourced is grown in exceptional terroir, a singular history and rare aromatic qualities.</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpU49DnSYHo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpU49DnSYHo</a></p><h2><span style="color:rgb(255,153,0)">Cuvée Sakanti Bali 68%</span></h2><p>This year we are delighted by the Cuvée Sakanti Bali 68% that exhibits Fruity and Chocolate-y qualities. To best experience the aromatic character of this chocolate, close your eyes, open the packet of chocolate and inhale the bananas flambé and roasted caramel scents.</p><p>The cooperative in Bali which produces this cacao was discovered by accident in 2013 by Valrhona's 'sourcing expert,' <strong>Julien Desmedt</strong>. Sakanti means 'glittering' in Balinese and this cacao has an uplifting acidity marked by its fruity notes, followed by intense chocolate with subtle bitter notes.</p><p>Fruit associations of this chocolate cuvée: Banana, grapefruit, mango; Spice notes: frensh coriander Aromas: cognac, acacia honey Dried fruits/nuts: Almonds, pine nuts, mint.</p><p>The optimal use of this chocolate is for chocolate bars.</p><p><a href="https://localfoodandwine.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=7433" rel="attachment wp-att-7433"><img class="gmail-aligncenter gmail-wp-image-7433" src="https://localfoodandwine.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/live-long-valrhonacacao-download.jpg" alt="" width="507" height="598"></a></p><h2><span style="color:rgb(255,255,0)">Cuvée Kilti Haiti 66% Fresh and Balanced</span></h2><p>The notes here are a beautiful vanilla and wonderful acid balance. Valrhona's engagement with Haiti began in 2010. It was then that they decided to pioneer a project of 38 hectares of quality-grown cacao where the house piloted a regeneration of agroforestry which is based on bio-diversity even on the same parcel of land which allows, too, for more diversification of revenue for the producers.</p><p>The word 'Kilti' means 'culture' in Haitian. Often when we think of Haiti we think of images of climactic catastrophe. But there is a lot of richness to be discovered in this land, notably too its cacao.</p><p>The tasting notes of Kilti Haiti are a light acidity on first taste, which then yield to beautiful classic chocolate notes with hints of roasted dried fruits and nuts on a base of persistent sweet-bitter. NOTES: red fruits, pear, citronnelle; Aromas: baked cookies, ginger; SPICES: coffee, vanilla.</p><p>Best uses: chocolate bar, chocolate creams and ganache.</p><p>For an extra delightful experience, try pairing these chocolates with a range of deep, rich red wines and even other beverages such as saké, beer, tea and sparkling varietal grape juice.</p><div class="gmail_default"><h1><strong>***</strong></h1><h3>For more information about this and other <a href="https://soundcloud.com/paigedonner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris GOOD food + wine </a>episodes please see <a href="https://localfoodandwine.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Local Food And Wine</a> <span class="gmail-m_-7116243835312464044gmail-skimlinks-unlinked"><a href="https://localfoodandwine.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://localfoodandwine.wordpress.com</a> as well as iTunes.</span></h3><p>All music used is free of rights and royalty-free.

Or, well that's what it felt like anyway at the brilliant wine dinner hosted by <a href="http://www.oenoteam.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oenoteam</a>, a wine consultancy based in Libourne, Bordeaux, France. The dinner was organized here in Paris in the understated chic neighborhood of the 7th <em>arrondissement</em> in the fabulous <a href="https://www.ateliereiffel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atelier Eiffel</a>.

I'm not sure that I totally agree with her, but there have been times, in fact many times, when tasting your way through dozens of new vintages can become something of a chore. Tasting 100 wines all in a row becomes work. And when wine becomes work, the pleasure - doesn't disappear - but it does diminish.</p><p style="font-size:small;color:rgb(32,18,77)">How gentlemanly of them then, to host a dinner for their few dozen favorite Paris-based wine writers and critics for the sole purpose of sharing. Sharing in the real sense - time, delight, conversation, moments spent with like-minded (and some not so like-minded) people.</p><p style="text-align:center"><font color="#660000" style="" size="4"><b>Laughter. Joy. Wine. Good food.</b></font></p><p style="font-size:small;color:rgb(32,18,77)">Before there was instagram, twitter and facebook, this was the real meaning of sharing. Sharing time and sharing experiences. Breaking bread with your fellow (wo)man. Wine, for thousands of years, has of course played a central part in this kind of sharing.</p><p style="font-size:small;color:rgb(32,18,77)">Thank you Oenoteam. Thank you for not killing the wine buzz. But rather for nurturing it - with gentleness, enthusiasm, gentlemanliness and passion shared amongst others,</p><p style="font-size:small;color:rgb(32,18,77)">Another TEDX talk I listened to not so long ago was given by another female wine writer and critic who travels around the world, tasting great wines. She said that wine has kept her humble. To be included in these special moments, with people who have spent generations cultivating vineyards and lovingly putting this nature's elixir into bottles so that it can enjoyed by others, <em>is</em> humbling.</p><p style="font-size:small;color:rgb(32,18,77)">And there is only one response that such an experience evokes, and that is deep gratitude - for all that went into creating such a moment.
