O Julgamento de Paris

Em 24 de maio de 1976, o mundo do vinho sofreu um abalo sísmico que não veio das falhas geológicas da Califórnia, mas de uma sala abafada no Hotel InterContinental, em Paris. Prestes a completar 60 anos, o evento, conhecido como “O Julgamento de Paris”, até hoje repercute. Mas, como toda lenda, foi polida, romanceada e ganhou as telas e telinhas (filme disponível no Prime Video). Antes de nos…

It may seem crazy to say that you may disappoint people by not putting expensive bottles of wine on your wine list, but it is the truth. And you are also depriving your business of revenue. By putting bottles on the list that are over $100, that are over $200, that are up to $1,000... I mean we have a bottle of Chateau Haut-Brion 1999 and that is $995 and that bottle will sell eventually. Someone will roll in and drink that bottle of wine. Like I said, we want to offer something for everybody, even for rich people.

That's how Pearl & Ash's Patrick Cappiello responds when Levi Dalton notices that over half the wines at the downtown Manhattan restaurant are $100 or higher. Click through for the full interview. And check out Pearl & Ash's full wine list, fellow brothers and sisters. (Source: Eater).

Whales like it when you use their name. I like to get it out there right away. "Hey, Mr. Whale, great to see you again!" This plus eye contact is a magic incantation. They used to say that you shouldn't try to shake the hand of a Whale, but all the best sommeliers these days are big touchers. Handshakes are passé, though. Hugs are more popular. Pascaline Lepeltier, Carla Rzeszewski, Laura Maniec: they give out hugs like busboys give out tap water. Hell, Mike Madrigale can barely talk to you if he can't hold your left bicep for emphasis. An arm squeeze from him is like an exclamation point. The way it works nowadays, the sommelier presses flesh first, and then pours second.

Levi Dalton knows a thing or two about pouring wine for rich people; he used to be the beverage director at Masa, America's most expensive restaurant. His Eater Essay on dealing with Whales is a most wonderful read. Check it out.
