Soirée Dégustation : Coups de Coeur de Caviste - Deux Clos
Spring Boutique, 52 rue de l'Arbre Sec 75001 Paris
18h-21h
5€ no reservations needed


Hubert Pien, Clos Saint Fiacre, in his Pinot Meunier vines 


Just took a peek in our wine cellar to see what wines I'm bringing home tonight - that's the best way to pick the coup de coeur. Since we're all out of magnums of Romanée-Conti and cans of Mr Pibb, I'll be heading home with wines from two wineries that start with 'clos'- Clos Saint Fiacre and Clos Capitoro. Clos Saint Fiacre is in the nearly unknown appelation Orléans, just a cherry stone's throw from Paris, where they make great red Pinot Meunier and white Chardonnay. Clos Capitoro is a bit futher away - Vermentino and sciaccarello. Come by on Thursday to taste 'em all for 5 eurobucks. 

En dégustation: (moins 10% sur tous les vins qui commence avec 'Clos' ce soir)

2010 Clos Saint Fiacre 'Orléans' Blanc reg 8€ -10% 7.20€
2009 Clos Saint Fiacre 'Orléans' Rouge reg 8€ -10% 7.20€
2010 Clos Capitoro Ajaccio Blanc 16 -10% 14.40
2010 Clos Capitoro Ajaccio Rouge reg 16€ -10% 14.40

Wine Tastings are Back on Thursdays

jeudi 2 juin / thursday june 2
Soirée Dégustation : Domaine Les Milles Vignes avec vigneronne Valérie Guerin
Spring Boutique, 52 rue de l'Arbre Sec 75001 Paris
18h-21h
gratuit, venez nombreux sans réservation / free tasting, no reservations needed












Valérie Guerin presides over a tiny collection of vineyards near the appellation Fitou. Her winemaking style is simple : low yield, excellent quality. Most of her extremely limited production goes directly to the cellars of nice restaurants in France. Valérie rarely comes to Paris, so we're happy to have her for the evening at Spring. If you haven't already hightailed it out of Paris for the weekend with half of the city, stop by and have a glass.
