BREAK OPEN THE BOTTLES
Each month, Parisian bistro
Ô Batignolles
takes you on a journey
through France, exploring different regions or varietals through wines
that are normally available only by the bottle. May was dedicated to the
weighty wines of Burgundy, June to earthy Chardonnays and this month,
to the best of what the Rhône Valley has to offer, including an exquisite
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. From $10 to $20 per glass; cured meat and
cheese platters from $28 to $29. 2 Gemmill Lane.
