A rare forecast of snow raised me from a nasty cold ennui to ensure I had sufficient supplies to weather the weather. Red wine was first on the list, for drinking and cooking. This is 5L for $17.99. Drinks and cooks well!
And because it’s in a plastic bladder, it doesn’t go to vinegar from oxidation – safe to keep for weeks! First learned of this shopping in a luxe market at La Defense, Paris at a 2004 IBM Global IT Conference. Booked into a very corporate Sofitel – far from the apartment in Marais where I later felt, home.
Finishing the current “Big Sipper” tonight before dinner (Pinot Noir), I was reminded of French viticulture practicality. The valve attached to the empty plastic bladder was made in France. They know a lot about wine.
