If you have found your way to Wine Apart in Dijon, you are home free. My husband, and I were…read morestumbling through Dijon, not even looking for a wine shop. (We kinda gave up on them after being to so many). We happened upon this place. Thank god we did. The Owner of the shop Thomas Trucy, ushered us in like old friends. Little did we know, we would become nearly best friends by the time we left. Not only is he friendly, he speaks perfect English (wIthout making you feel like a tourist), he is witty, and very knowledgeable about his wines. His shop holds a great collection, anywhere from 12 Euros up to who knows, but he will never push you to buy something you wouldn't like, or just because it is super expensive. He asks you what you enjoy drinking first. Have you ever heard a french shop owner compare one of their inventory items to an Oregon Pinot? Not likely, but he did and he was right on the money of what we were looking for. His location is in the perfect parking spot for walking around Dijon as well. We went back the next day, just to tell him about the wine he recommended the day before, and the rest is history. We still talk overseas, and we plan on using him to get hard to find wines in the States to ship here. At least we can pretend we are in France when they arrive. Please visit his shop the next time you are near Dijon, you will not be disappointed!!!
