What to bring back from France?

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
