SPOTLIGHTS FOR JULY
Just What the Doctor Ordered
Lotte Pfeiffer-Mueller, co-owner of Weingut Brueder Dr. Becker, is also the Chairwoman of the Board of ECOVIN, a group committed to making exceptional wines that are also organic and biodynamic, with sustainable practices.
The term organic generally means the use of natural as opposed to chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides. Biodynamic is similar to organic farming in that both take place without chemicals, but biodynamic farming incorporates ideas about a vineyard as an ecosystem, and also accounting for things such as astrological influences and lunar cycles.
Sustainability refers to a range of practices that are both ecologically and economically sound- as well as socially responsible, generally with a focus on energy and water conservation and the use of renewable resources.
The doctor says you should feel good about these. So drink up, because these are also crazy delicious!
Take two (home) and call me in the morning.
Billecart-Salmon Champagne
It’s time to celebrate. Why? Why not? Spring has seemingly come and gone leaving us, all of us, basking in the enhanced radiation of these modern days. Of course we will all drink rose and white wine; as we should. But let’s take life one step further and celebrate now with a bottle of bubbly, a flute of fine sparkling finesse, a mysterious melody of the traditional method. Of course we have a favorite, Maison Billecart-Salmon, and having acquired a bastion of their bottles we offer to you, the people, a summer selection of irrational decadence.
Founded in 1818 and based in the village of Mareuil-Sur-Ay, Billecart-Salmon has been producing fine Champagne for almost 200 years. Famous for their vintage bottlings, especially the Blanc de Blancs and everything rose; this house has consistently remained at the top of every true Champagne lover’s list. Although well-regarded and ubiquitously known, Billecart-Salmon is still hard to find and, some would say, a privilege to know.
So here is what we have to offer; we wish we had more:
