When I first made the decision to bump my visits to France to twice a year, I expected to have less wine to taste per trip. These trips to France are always with my friend David Raccah of Kosher Wine Musings, and he has been doing this twice a year since the start. When I … Continue reading France, January 2025 – Part 1 – Royal

France – May 2024 – Part 3 – Hotel Wines
Note: I am embarrassed at how late this post is. It was 95% complete by mid-June. I just never got around to finishing and editing due to my work schedule and of course the ongoing situation here, which as I have noted, does not leave me in the headspace for writing.

Like last time, we spent the entirety of this trip in Paris rather than visiting any specific wine-making area. The real benefit here is in our ability to taste a larger number of wines in the hotel, so … Continue reading France Trip 2022 – Part 1 – Bokobsa
Paris November 2021 – Part 1 – IDS
