I could not believe I saw this. A article in Time magazine's online edition on natural wines and natural wine bars in Paris. They mention Jules Chauvet and everything. What will all the Cabernet and Chardonnay drinkers who read Time magazine think? This will rock their boats. Flights are being booked to Paris as we speak, Claude Courtois allocations are getting tight! Houillon too! Seriosuly folks, I think it is great that this article appeared and that many people will read about natural wines who have no clue what they are. A step in the right direction. Next we need Newsweeks and then Maxim and then Blender and then The New York Times . . .wait we got the NYT already.

Natural Wines go mainstream
I could not believe I saw this. A article in Time magazine's online edition on natural wines and natural wine bars in Paris. They mention Jules Chauvet and everything. What will all the Cabernet and Chardonnay drinkers who read Time magazine think? This will rock their boats.

Total rip-off of Peter Leim's excellent Wine & Spirits article.
ReplyDeleteNever saw it.....got a link?
ReplyDeleteI see that Astor Wines is having a tasting tomorrow of natural French wines, with the winemakers present I think. I hope to make it. It's between 3 and 5 Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI could say it was a total rip off of a story I did for Taste in 2001, a piece for Conde Nast Traveler in 2002, NYTimes travel section two years ago, the Time story I did last year, by wine bar coverage on my blog, or the story I have coming out next month in Travel & Culture that I cannibalized from my own writing. But, I don't have ownership of the topic, so it goes. It's just the way it works.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Does this mean that $20 Loire reds and Pulsards from Arbois will soon be $60.
ReplyDeleteCome here, young lawyers and heiresses...Don't you really want to be drinking Ghost Horse? :)
