It's been thrilling to join the team at Château de Pommard just in time for the release of our 2016 Simone flagship cuvée.

Meet Simone 2016: https://bit.ly/2G0v4wT

Complex and elegant, Simone 2016 reveals a fragrant nose marked by aromas of black fruits, elderberries and fresh rose, lined with notes of black pepper. The palate reveals all the freshness of the vintage. The first impression on the mouth is energetic; the tannins are present but silky with a long finish. Simone 2016 is a rich and concentrated pinot noir that reveals the very soul of our domain.

A great read from the WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust).

Wine sommeliers and salespeople can be guilty of using certain language when describing wines that can sooner offer confusion than clarity for the thirsty consumer. While these phrases may be familiar to the seasoned industry professional, they leave much to be explained to the regular wine drinker....

Not sure we needed a study to determine this... :-)

Munching a chunk of cheese with that cheeky glass of Sancerre could actually enhance its flavor. A recent French study has found that wine actually tastes better when enjoyed with a piece of cheese.

What Bordeaux to to reveal behind its hyped-up image.

The region is known for its fine wines and chateaus (you can stay the night in one), but its earthy side offers its own pleasures (and no corkage fee).

I will be roasting a chicken this weekend because I love having the leftovers (if there are any!) plus the ability to make a homemade chicken stock that can be used during the week for quick flavor boosting and recipes. Here is Jacques Pépin's recipe. Try it this weekend!

I love roast chicken because any wine matches perfectly with it. Whenever everyday wine or a special weekend wine, the chicken is sure to provide the perfect pairing.

Bon week-end!

Changing a meal’s status requires more than a change of name, but not much more Roast chicken is still roast chicken whether you label it haute cuisine, bourgeois cuisine or country cooking; even calling it “poulet roti” will not transmogrify this simple bird Move, however, from the kitchen to the d...

Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé! Get ready for tomorrow! Here's what I have to say for Cook'n With Class Paris's blog.

Growing up in the US, I always remember seeing these funny signs hanging about the supermarkets and liquor stores around Thanksgiving saying Le Beaujolais Nouveau Est Arrivé. What was this purplish-red wine disguised in the gaudy colorfully painted bottles?
