Have a friend who is a pilot and has offered to bring me 2 bottles of wine back from this week’s Paris leg. Any recommendations? What’s fairly available there that you can’t get here? Thanks much.
For me, the answer would be easy: Vin Jaune from the Jura.
Your pilot friend probably doesn’t have time to go all over Paris on your behalf.
I suggest going to one of the finest stores in the center of town:
They have very profesionnel staff. He can ask them for a special wine that you are not likely to find in the States.
Best regards,
Alex R.
Do you have a couple of favorite producers?
Great idea. I’ll pass along the store…and a budget!
You can get vin jaune in the US, unless you are set on a particular producer that is not imported. Wines I’d be looking for, in no particular order:
Metras
Overnoy
Benetiere
