Fall is around the corner, and with it, the 10th Anniversary of the Fête du Champagne, originally founded by friends of the shop, wine writer and Chamagne expert Peter Liem, and sommelier Daniel Johnnes. Though an extravagant party with "luxurious cuisine" may seem a bit over the top for some, including yours truly, the spirit of a Champagne party is certainly up my alley! There will still be tiny allocations from grower Champagne houses that should arrive in time for December and the New Year, we did just receive shipments from Bérèche, Marie-Courtin, and Agrapart that may not be replenished (if at all) until the very end of the year. These are all estates that Chambers Street Wines has been championing since the beginning, and we're delighted to actually have some bottles to sell. Part of me was leaning towards just stocking the bottles for walk-in business and keeping them off the website, but alas, rent is always due and the quiet Summer compels us to spread the love... and sell the darn wine! We'll keep some for the shelf but would encourage our readers from outside the NYC area to grab some of these now.
