The wine of Paris, as the bus bars, comes in three

Type = "html" >
First day in a week in Paris, in large part to suss out his natural wine bar scene. We have the means to do so for some time and have already had to cancel two reasons to travel too complicated and too heavy to move in that I can still not believe that we are here.

Indeed, Paris is awash with wine bars, natural or not so, it is not particularly difficult to follow a. But what we discover already is only natural they seem to come in clusters. They may feel that they need the moral support that their unnatural neighbours will prosecute them if they are all on their own.

Today, we discovered two hot spots, one in the street of the Lavandières Next in the 1st arrondissment, us hit a little too early at the beginning to drink, but the old counters which includes and the dress and the Palace, which we expect absolutely go back. (The old counters looks quite expensive)

And then, street of the dry tree, where you can find the guard dress and spring and bar bottle shop wine. (Spring, himself, one of the restaurants more popular of the city is to the bottom of the Balleul Street opposite).



We had a cheeky glass Parigot the crémant de Bourgogne rosé in the spring of €6 who would happily drink champagne and bavardé to Brendan of Oregon, which had developed a passion for wine, natural and workforce Shop Manager, Josh stead.

Then we perform the calibration injections must be carried out on the road and had a plate of dry sausage and terrine on dark room lit conditions the guard dress, which is much more what you expect that a natural wine bar must be like. We tried a glass of a typical provençal blend of Cabernet and Syrah is called fields of the Brasserie, I really enjoyed, which is called a Caladoc du Rhône (I think) Ouane Ze Pepe red, I see nothing on Google so I probably wrote wrongly. It's not very interesting anyway.



And finally, a glass of Puzelat Sauvignon Blanc ' 10 on another bar and restaurant called small fines gules fields cross street side of the rue de Rivoli. No horrible confected gooseberry and asparagus taste-one of the best wines, I had Puzelat.

What strikes me so far:

* how it is easy to find a place to drink natural Paris wine

Paris wine bars is not cheap. Entrees are about 20-€25 (certainly including service), so it is better to do what we do and have a start and a glass of wine-autour glass 4-€6 (140 ml) on average, which is of good value by UK standards.

* We ate a lot of meat. Vegetables are still rare in France

* each wine bar seems to have a Japanese girl behind the bar or in the kitchen. Curious that.


* many Parisians have small dogs. Can not go to the bottom of that either.



This incidentally, it is rather good map of the Paris wine bars and bistros compiled by Dr. Vino. Natural all, but you see what I mean on clusters.
