Hello from the Caviste:

We hope you are staying cool as the weather heats up.

Be ready to stock up on wine before we break for the holidays. A reminder that we will be CLOSED JULY 1-15.

Your last chance before we break for the holidays to wine and dine with us will be Thursday, June 27, the French Bistro dinner. We still have seats available. Enjoy!

In the meantime, we have another murder mystery series for you. Take a tour of Paris and each of the arrondissements with Cara Black's Aimée Leduc, a computer hacker who unwittingly ends up solving murders. These stories will transport you to wander the streets of the Marais or climb the slopes of Montmartre while Aimée, a quirky, chic, Parisian helps neighbors, friends, strangers solve murders. Since there are fifteen books and counting, you have all summer long to enjoy. We would start with the first one:

CLOSED JULY 1 - JULY 15

Domaine des Chasseignes
Aurore Dezat & David Girard
 

Family-run estate since 2011. Dezat farms 13 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in the commune of Sury-en-Vaux with her partner David Girard. The Sauvignon Blanc is planted over limestone gravel known as Caillottes and the famed Kimmeridgian marl known as Terres Blanches, a soil famous for that characteristic Sancerre richness balanced with taut minerality. Fermented and aged in a mix of stainless steel tank and large oak barrels adding to the texture.
