Wine peeps are among the secretly most judgy folks around. The big Cab folks make jokes about the flaws the natty wine kids endure, the Burgundy lovers are dismissive of the boldness of Cali Pinot, the low intervention group shudder at the high intervention of Argentine Malbec. Oh and Meoimi – you’re either hard for or hard against.. Seriously.
And therein lies the problem. In years past Krug was a pricey, but relatively easy to source special-occasion wine. Now theis one of the few that still gets some…and it’s really increased in value. The Grand Cuvée used to be a tad higher than its LVMH stablemate Dom Perignon but that gap is growing. Such is the price of near universal adulation.
So why am I telling you about a great wine that you can’t get? Because they’re coming to town on September 14 to 22 for a second straight year to partner with Published on Main, which is one of two “Ambassades” in Canada. I’m pretty sure Ambassade is a big deal, and I know I’m a small person because I revel in the fact that Toronto doesn’t have one .
What this means to you is that Chef Gus Steiffenhofer-Brandson has prepared a special dish of wild roses and chicken liver parfait to pair with the Champagne. It also means that wine directorwill be pouring both the Grand Année and the rarely seen Rosé by the glass, so it’s a rare chance to try the wine without sourcing an entire bottle.
But most importantly – everyone is being very cool on the pricing. Chef Gus’ dish is $30 and they’ll even do a half portion for $15. And the Grand Cuvée is $500 – which is less than what retail is. So yes, it’s a bucket load of money, and yes it’s also a smoking deal.Five Cafes Ideal for Avid Readers and Coffee Enthusiasts
