I’ve recently been enjoying all the late summer sweet corn and tomatoes that are in stock in Dépanneur Williamsburg. People often think of us as their coffee and sandwich spot, not realizing we stock in season produce as well, which alas doesn’t get grabbed up like you would think it would. I slice up the tomatoes sprinkle coarse sea salt and drizzle a good olive oil from the shop on top, slice up a Balthazar baguette (also from the shop) and that’s it. I’m easy to please. When it comes to meal prep, I definitely lean towards the Alice Waters school of thought. Let the vegetables speak for themselves. (And Congrats to 50 years Chez Panisse!) That said, I’m not...

Jutta Ambrositsch Wiener Gemischter Satz Kosmopolit 2020 & Jutta Ambrositsch Gemischter Satz Ringelspiel 2018 These two white field blends from Vienna captured my heart and I can't wait for you to try them this Thursday along with truly great Austrian red at an unbelievable price point.

Heurigen could roughly be translated as a wine bar. Buschenschank is similar, but they are only allowed to sell products that are made in-house, wine included. Jutta Ambrositsch started her own Buschenschank in 2006 after leaving behind an office job as a graphic designer although she still...
We're thrilled to show you TWO from the esteemed Chinon estate Domaine D L'R. Frédéric Sigonneau a relative newcomer (est. 2007) is second to maybe Bernard Baudry, his childhood neighbor, producing stunning shimmery Cab Franc and Chenin Blancs. And one more, why not? a classic Provençal rose from Wilson Daniels Importer, always bringing us the good juice. Domaine de L'R Fred Sigonneau Chenin Blanc 2017 Having spent some time working in Spain in Ribera del Duero, Frédéric Signonneau decided to come back to Touraine and create his own domain in 2007 – rising out of the remains of the family estate in Cravant les Coteaux.
