Pierre-O Bonhomme in NYC! Come taste at Chambers Street tomorrow, July 10th, 5-7 pm
7/5/19 -
Our good friend Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme, aka Pierre-O, will be passing through New York tomorrow, July 10th, and will be pouring his wines here at Chambers Street from 5 - 7 pm! We've been tasting with Pierre-O for years, and have been really impressed with the evolution of his wines since he began working on his own nearly 10 years ago, so we definitely recommend swinging by to meet him and taste the recent releases.
Pierre-O is a Loire valley local who got his start with wine at an early age, working with Jean-Marie and Thierry Puzelat at the Clos du Tue Boeuf. What started as harvest work turned into an opportunity to help Thierry Puzelat run a side project that he started in the 1990's, after several years of challenges in the family vines. The two worked together, with Thierry mentoring Pierre-O, and they bottled the wines under the name Puzelat-Bonhomme. As of 2011, Pierre-O took over winemaking duties, and in 2013, he took over the project fully, as Thierry shifted his focus back to carrying on the family domaine with his brother. Pierre-O's most recent offerings are a testament to his skill and passion, and an indication that we have plenty to look forward to in the years to come!
