Paris - Montmartre Harvest Festival 2009
Montmartre lives in the past. It is a kingdom for artists, Parisian lovers, and grape pickers. A San Franciscan told me « when you live in Montmartre, you don’t need to go anywhere else, you have all you need ». No wonder I am not in San Francisco,(yet).In Montmartre as you have vines, you also have harvest and the parties that go along with it. Last week on the hill, La Fête des Vendanges was an opportunity to celebrate the artists of the neighbourhood and their soil: French songs, wine,…See More

Finally Drinking Californian Wines
Last week, the Fouquet's hosted the salon des Vins du Monde (an event for wine professionals to promote world wide wines). When seeing all those country names on so many bottles, the choice was tough and the time too short. Ukrain, Israël, Italy, Germany, South Africa, Libanon and I can't count how many others were present. Following my American Dream, I've decided to focus on California. I've chased them all and couldn't believe all the label that were presented. After having my first Robert…See More

Vicky Wine replied to Nico James's discussion 'Which do you prefer, Old World Or New World Wines?'
Ola,
I think in France we barely know new world wines as the choice in wine shops is very restraint. Such a shame when you know the richness of the world wide wines diversity!
World Wide Wines and The wonderful story of TerraVin
I am now in Beaujolais, recovering from a week in Paris where I have tasted some of the most beautiful wines from around the world. Quite surprising though, as I tend to think that it is incredibly hard to drink foreign wines in France. London and New York are clearly more open on the matter as they don’t face the problem of French wine makers’ and wine drinkers’ protectionism. Can’t blame them for such a chauvinism Though -when you see that French are drinking less and less wine while…See More
