Most of our big changes take some getting used to. For example the room I am writing this introduction in was designed in 1940 to commemorate our one hundred year anniversary of operation. We call it The Last Room because it was the last room added onto the restaurant. Since then many rooms have come and gone without mention, but this name has remained. Many people have remained with our restaurant as well. We have a waiter who has been with us over fifty years. A couple of our chefs have been with us over forty years. Many of our menu items are over a hundred years old. And it is not unreasonable to believe that a handful of the wines we house today were poured in our dining rooms over a hundred and fifty years ago. At Antoine’s we are motivated by our tradition. Our traditional dishes became traditional because they were radical when they first appeared. We have wines that appeared in our books and on our tables a hundred and fifty years ago, and, hopefully, we always offer wines that have appeared just a couple weeks ago. The tradition of wine drinking is about the discovery of old and new memories. -

Domaine Taupenot Merme
DOMAINE TAUPENOT MERME Country: France Region: Burgundy Appellation(s): Bourgogne, Saint Romain, Auxey Duresses, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle Musigny, Gevrey- Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Corton Rognet Grand Cru, Charmes- Chambertin Grand Cru, Mazoyères- Chambertin Grand Cru, Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru Producer: Romain Taupenot Founded: 1963 Annual Production: 7,000 cases Farming: Organic (Practicing) Romain Taupenot is the ninth generation to run this family domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis. While records show his ancestors practiced viticulture as far back as the 17th century, the domaine as we know it today truly came to be after the marriage of Romain’s parents, Denise Merme and Jean Taupenot, in 1963. The domaine’s diverse vineyard sites across both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune can be traced back to this union of holdings from the Taupenot family, based in Saint-Romain, with those belonging to the Mermes, from Morey-Saint-Denis. Romain recalls helping out at the domaine as a child, assisting with harvest and selling his grandfather’s wines along the side of the route nationale to vacationers passing through Burgundy on their summer journey south. But his total integration into the family business would come much later, as he first pursued a career in finance following business studies in Paris. In 1998, he returned home to assume management of the domaine, which he now runs alongside his sister, Virginie. With 9 hectares in the Côte de Nuits and another 4.5 hectares in the Côte de Beaune, Romain and Virginie now produce nineteen different wines across seventeen appellations. -

JOSH JENSEN Founder – Calera
JOSH JENSEN Founder – Calera In the world of fine wine, Josh Jensen is a legend. An innovator and a pioneer, Josh has been named the San Francisco Chronicle’s “Winemaker of the Year,” honored as a “Rockstar of Wine” at World of Pinot Noir, and has graced the cover of Wine Spectator. More than just being universally respected by his peers, Josh played a pivotal role in establishing Pinot Noir as one of North America’s great varietal wines. In doing so, he also built Calera into one of the world’s most revered wineries. Beloved by connoisseurs, Calera has been honored by Wine & Spirits as one of the “Top 100 Wineries in the World” four times, with Robert Parker calling Calera “California’s Romanée-Conti.” For those who know Josh’s story, there is a particular aptness in the compassion to Romanée-Conti, In the early 1970s, after studying at Yale and Oxford, Josh was exploring Europe, when a desire to try his hand at vineyard work led him to Romanée-Conti, where he worked harvest. Inspired by his experience at the famed Pinot Noir estate, the following year he deepened his understanding of great Pinot Noir at Domaine Dujac. Returning to the United States, he began a quest to create a style of Pinot Noir that had not previously been realized in the United States. To achieve this goal, he spent the next two years searching for land rich in limestone, like the vineyards he most admired in Burgundy. In 1974, he found what he was looking for on the steep slopes of Mount Harlan, a 3,278-foot peak in the Gavilan Mountains that divide Monterey and San Benito counties. -

Complex Burgundy Hierarchy the Hierarchy of Burgundy, to Some, Is Considered Complex
With Burgundy en primeur upon us, Decanter has listed the top Burgundy producers, based on the best known and most expensive as a starting point. Look out for all the Burgundy 2014 en primeur tasting notes on Decanter.com later this month. image: http://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2015/12/Vines- at-Romanee-Conti-630x417.jpg Romanée-Conti vines TAGS:News Home Burgundy is an area in France famous for its world class red and white wines produced from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Complex Burgundy hierarchy The hierarchy of Burgundy, to some, is considered complex. Burgundy lovers can struggle to learn firstly the commune or village level wine names, then the Grand Cru vineyards and finally the Premier Cru vineyards. A recent piece by journalist John Elmes, who is currently learning about wine for the first time with the WSET, was in high contrast to the in-depth piece by Benjamin Lewin MW on Burgundian classification. It served as a reminder of the breadth of knowledge needed to understand the Burgundy classification system. Burgundy producer types Due to this complexity, finding your favourite Burgundian producers can be much more fruitful in the long term when purchasing wine. This, once again, is not a simple as it sounds. The Burgundian wine trade is split in two between growers and négociants. This has arisen due to a law attributed to Napoleonic times – the laws of equal inheritance. When applied to the vineyards of Burgundy, over time, it has meant that individual growers may only own a small row of vines.
