Staff Pick Notes

In this corporate-dominated economy, it is good to know that wine is a commodity that provides opportunity for the little guy. Les Vins de Barbichette was started in a corner of a Brooklyn coffee roastery as a hobby to share with friends. Recently Barbichette winemakers, Lou and César poured at an Astor tasting. It was refreshing to see them enthusiastically engaging with our customers and staff; real people making an honest livelihood. My favorite from their current line up is Les Nuits Blanches, a skin fermented (orange) Riesling. The wine sings with aromas of white peaches, chamomile, yellow flowers, and sour yeast. It is dry and backed by a brisk acidity that will soften with some air time. It’s fun and goes down easy. Enjoy it while watching the sunset.
