Canal Saint-Martin
A lot of people ask me “What’s your ‘ah-ha’ moment with Natural Wine?” • Well, I actually stumbled across a photo from that EXACT moment in August 2010. Had my first #lechateaubriand meal in Paris. (Wow. New world order kind of dining ) Stumbled over to #leverrevole (Natural wine bar) to buy a bottle and sit by the canal. I was intimidated not knowing many of the producers. But in a rare friendly French moment, the wine buyer suggested a bottle for me. It was a juicy light Dard and Ribo St Joseph Syrah. Chuggable, fresh, full of energy, lower alcohol. No chemicals in the farming of the grapes. No chemicals in the bottle. (Maybe a lil sulphur but don’t quote me on that) Made me elated and I was HOOKED. The care to the ingredients in the food was the same care to the winemaking. Highest standards expressing the true nature of both. • I started researching Natural and Low Intervention winemaking and why it’s making me want to drink wine all through the evening without feeling that “ugh, I’m done with this thick boring red wine with zero energy or LIFE” feeling I get from so many conventional wines. My wine world was permanently changed. My hangovers lessened. And this was a huge inspiration why I make @lasjaraswines the way we do. 🍷 Each vintage we work with our growers to stay fully organic or convince them to move to full organic and sustainable farming. We try to spread the good word through our different communities on how this can make what’s in your glass so much more important and more freaking delicious!
Café Sillon
Just when I thought I couldn’t handle another perfect French meal... along comes Café Sillon. SUPERB! What a glorious grand finale to this portion of our culinary journey. No nonsense chill bistro dishing out exquisite dishes packed with tons of flavor. Why can’t we do this in Los Angeles??? • Asparagus, Wild Asparagus, garlic baby flowers (?), jamon, squid ink. This dish made me question everything. Beyond!!! - Beetroot, Capers, Tuna, Raspberry - Guinea Hen, chick peas, fennel - Haddock, fried artichoke, mushrooms - Trout Roe, Radish - Wines of the region.
France
Bed bugs at the hostel. Owner offered no refund. Price was right at new place. No bed, but vineyard adjacent.
Arbois
💫DREAMS DO COME TRUE💫 Got to taste with @octavin.alice.bouvot who I revere as the Queen of Natural winemaking and all things that are cool and good in this world. Such a warm and generous and talented human. 😊
Paul Bocuse
You been to Noma? WHO CARES. Been to Blue Hill at Stone Barn? SCREW YOU. All that matters is Paul Bucose. The beginning. The mother sauce. Three Michelin Stars of creamy goodness. A perfect meal with two Lyon Boys we found off of Instagram. Unfollow Me. Love me. Serve me in truffle cream sauce. Give me the kitchen tour. I am ready. • Lobster Salad. Truffle Soup made for the French president in 1975. Encrusted Sea bass. Scalloped Red Mullet. Cheese from Heaven. Desert Paradise.

Chassignolles, Auvergne, France
💥FULL BEYOND💥staying at a lil countryside cottage that Luca recommended. Drinking the stellar wines of the region. Joe is being a freaking brat and not contributing. I drove all day and he’s more focused on instagrams that absorbing the culture. Please DM and tell him to step his game up. • Duck with anchovies! (This was prob the best duck I’ve ever had). Green beans with hollandaise. • Joe just said “this is honestly the best place I’ve ever been in my life” so that tells u the levels we are dealing with.
Auvergne, France
