Yeah, this is the place…read more This is the place that when you wonder what day to day wine and drinking culture is like in Paris you picture. This is the place when you daydream about having a wine shop you dream about having. This is the place you wish was your own wine version of Cheers. This is the place you wish was on your street. This is my favorite wine shop I have ever visited. Great selection generally in the 15 - 35 euro range, but mostly in the 15 - 20. Rhone Valley seems to dominate and I believe the common thread was that they were all natural wines (in short more than organic, close to bio dynamic, picked by hand and only natural yeasts used amongst other restrictions...) Add seven euro and the owner will give you a glass, a plate of whatever charcuterie and cheese he and his wife have in the back, and a place to sit and have your bottle. There isn't a more perfect place to sit on a small winding Parisian street and contemplate nothing at all while the world carries on without you.

I was lucky enough to be seated in the first round of customers since I got there 15 minutes before seating. They do not have a reservation system and the wait can be a while after first seating since all the food come out one at a time for all groups. So think, if groups got a specific dish, they'd all get that dish and then the staff would work on the next one to serve, etc. The wine list is endless and there were so many options to try! Note: more bottles than single glasses but worth it considering the ambiance and conversations you can have! Staff is so patient and knowledgeable about the options and even let me try some before I made my decision! I tried 3 of the dishes available, the pork cheeks, the Agnolotti, and the Shrimp Toast. Everything was delicious and I still dream about that shrimp toast to this day. Wish I went with a group so we could try everything on the menu but this just means, I have to go again!

Table after table is crowded, and there is much merrymaking: revelers mosh and dance and grind and laugh and hug to the DJ - Pierre - behind the bar, where an Israeli flag proudly hangs next to Canadian and UK flags and retro pin-up models. When Pierre played "Hava Nagila", all hell broke loose. Later, we asked Pierre if he was the owner (he wasn't). He invited us behind the bar, then poured us hefty glasses of wine for free. Discovering we were Americans, he blasted the American national anthem - twice. Friends and I emptied a few bottles of Sancerre (Domaine Paul Cherrier, 2008). We put one aside, where strangers accidentally finished it. They apologized profusely, then bought us yet another bottle. Needless to say, my time here was a blur of awesomeness.

So on the way back to the hotel we stopped by and within a short while we were best friends with the charming co-owner, Vincent, an ex-sommelier (speaks passable English). Don't expect anything too fancy as you squeeze into the table with a half dozen seats (there are also a couple of tables on the sidewalk), and we were apparently here on shipping day so the floor was overflowing with cases of wine. A steady stream of locals stopping by for a glass of wine and a bite at charcuterie at lunchtime. But Vincent really knows his wines, and if you do too, you will have a great time. We sampled what was open and then bought some special bottles to take back to the States. We also got a tour of their wine cellar, which is a very dusty basement that looked like it was dug out sometime around WWI. To top it off, Vincent decanted one of our purchases (we couldn't wait), and then we came back an hour later to share it with him along with some complementary charcuterie. Très magnifique!
