This Jean-Pierre Robinot guy really knows what’s up. Personal fave is the Nocturne (Pineau d’Aunis, red) but I’ve never had a bad one by him and I think generally people really go for his whites more than his reds. This L’opera des vins thing is delightful. I feel pretty confident saying You Cannot Go Wrong with this guy’s choices on what to do with grapes.

Makes a light, herbaceous, floral red wine. I sound like an asshat whenever I walk into a wine shoppe & ask for this grape specifically, but her wines are #singular and perfect for picnics and other similarly chic occasions.

More of a recent discovery for me are the wines of Louis and Charlotte Perot of L’Ostal. They lived in Paris and were both working in literature and got the itch to leave the city. Louis ended up studying viticulture and winemaking and eventually started working with Simon Busser (another producer making real profound juice) in Cahors, the South-Western part of France. They bought a property in 2012 and mainly work with with Malbec (aka Côt here) and Merlot. The wines floored me the first time I had them. They’re not trying to be anything super cutting edge, but just a traditionally made wine done very well. Def more dad/uncle wine, red lights and velvet, but something natty wine drinkers can get behind. Don’t get me wrong, I like low ABV flirt juice, but don’t be afraid of 14% and up wines!

I find good value grower champs from Bouzy and Montagne de Reims. Custom dictates that you scoop a bottle for yourself to enjoy, too.
Chin chin!

This is the best car ever made. It’s my car but we can rule out bias since I believed it was the best car ever made before I had it. That is why I got one. I have linked to a 3D model of it so you can appreciate this beautiful machine from all angles.

Fag Puddle with Candle, Shoe, and Flag, Salman Toor, 2022.
It’s at the Met. I only ended up moving because I could feel how bad the security guard needed me to.
