Parisian wine outlets are likely to exhibit tunnel imaginative and prescient, usually to the purpose of obsession: both they promote pure/natural/biodynamic wine, or they promote “conventional” wine, and infrequently do the twain meet. One sees lots of the identical wines over, and over, and over once more.
Not right here. There’s a lot to fulfill any palate or ideology, and what’s extra lots of the labels aren’t the widespread names littering most trendy restaurant lists. Add in an off-the-cuff vibe, a ton of tables for informal in-store imbibing (with a splendidly minuscule droit de bouchon), a reasonably stunning menu of tapas and the same old wine bar comestibles, and there’s lastly one thing new beneath the Parisian solar.
