I’m convinced that there must be a Sommelier in a wine bar somewhere who does not love Jo Landron’s sparkling “Atmospheres”, but I have not met that person yet. Remember this is the only wine we’ve ever sold that inspired a tattoo. (i.e. a tattoo of the label – it’s quite possible we’ve sold wine [...]
Early in most wine lovers’ introduction to the wines of France comes a lesson on the subdivision of regions within Burgundy into “cru”, some of which produce wines so unique and spectacular they are labelled “Grand Cru” status.
