    PRESSPRESS Robert Parker Juin 2011 On our way back from Montreal, we stopped at the Shangri-La of wine cellars, the residence of Park B. Smith, a dear friend and restaurant owner/textile magnate from New York City. (His home is about five hours south of Montreal and about five hours north of mine in Maryland.) To say we were treated like kings/emperors is the understatement of the year… … As people who have read any biographical profiles of Park Smith in different wine magazines would know, he has had access to the greatest wines in the world for over 50 years, and about 20 years ago he concluded that his wine of choice was Châteauneuf du Pape. He has quite a selection of them in his mag- nificent cellars, and we had four of his favorites (and mine too, for that matter). The Domaine Barroche 2005 Pure is one of the greatest Châteauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted. I have had it well over 15 differ- ent times, and every bottle has been a spectacular concoction of dark raspberries, blueberries, incense, lavender, and other assorted floral notes. Pardon the pun, but there is a “purity” to the wine, an unctu- ous, full-bodied texture, stunning richness and a silky integration of tannins that make this a perfect wine, with a flawless/seamless integration of all the component parts… PRESSPRESS Robert Parker April 2013 Chef Cindy Wolf prepared a superb meal as the staff of The Wine Advocate (16 people) took over the wine room at the Charleston restaurant on the waterfront in downtown Baltimore… The 2005 Barroche Châteauneuf du Pape Pure is a treat to drink whether from a regular bottle or a ma- gnum.

  • 2014 NYC Michelin Guide Press Release
    2 New York is one of three cities in the U.S. where Michelin publishes an annual guide. Later this year, the MICHELIN Guide San Francisco Bay Area & Wine Country 2014, and the MICHELIN Guide Chicago 2014 will also go on sale. Thanks to the rigorous MICHELIN Guide selection process that is applied independently and consistently around 23 countries, the MICHELIN Guide has become an international benchmark in fine dining. The selections of all restaurants in the guide are made by Michelin's famously anonymous inspectors who dine in the New York City area regularly. These local inspectors are trained to scrupulously apply the same time-tested methods used by Michelin inspectors for many decades throughout the world. This ensures a uniform, international standard of excellence. As a further guarantee of complete objectivity, Michelin inspectors pay all their bills in full, and only the quality of the cuisine is evaluated. To fully assess the quality of a restaurant, the inspectors apply five criteria defined by Michelin: product quality, preparation and flavors, the chef's personality as revealed through his or her cuisine, value for money, and consistency over time and across the entire menu. These objective criteria are respected by all MICHELIN Guide inspectors, whether in Japan, the United States, China or Europe. They guarantee a consistent selection so that a star restaurant has the same value regardless of whether it is located in Paris, New York or Tokyo. Michelin has been a pioneering force in advancing mobility through innovation and excellence in manufacturing quality. The company patented the pneumatic, or air-filled, tire in the late 1800s.
