Wine of the Day: La Caravelle Champagne
As the summer rolls on into August, the decision for after work drinks is clear. La Caravelle, champagne from the Epernay region of Champagne, France, presents a cool and crisp sip post-office hours. Hand chosen by Rita and André Jammet owners of the champagne's namesake, La Caravelle restaurant, each pour has aromas of yuzu, white peaches and other stone fruits. The varieties are cuvée niña, rosé and blanc de blancs; all are perfect well chilled with a variety of fruits.
Tip: If you're truly in the mood for a bottle while out with friends or family, some of Behind the Burner's favorite restaurants carry La Caravelle, including Daniel, Le Cirque and my choice, Chez Josephine. If you want to buy your own bottle (or case!) head to Acker, Merrall and Condit, the oldest wine store in America, among many other retailers.
