We made a very pleasant discovery in the 20th arrondissement in Paris the other day. It is a wine shop/wine bar called Au Nouveau Nez. You are greeted by Agnès, who runs the place, and you instantly feel at home. It is open as a wine shop all day and from 6 pm you can [...]

Au Nouveau Nez, “natural” wine shop / wine bar in Paris | BKWine Pick
We made a very pleasant discovery in the 20th arrondissement in Paris the other day. It is a wine shop/wine bar called Au Nouveau Nez (which is a play with words, the name means “ the new nose”, but also, if you spell it a little bit different, but pronounced the same, “the newborn”). You [...]
Mesdames-Messieurs Restaurant, Montpellier | BKWine Pick
The focus of Mesdames-Messieurs is clearly on the wine. And on organic – and similar – wines in particular. They call themselves “bar à vin dînatoire”, essentially a wine bar with something to eat too, and that is a fair description. Mesdames-Messieurs Restaurant is not quite a fully fledged restaurant. The wine selection, which is clearly [...]

A memorable wine lunch in Languedoc
We were fortunate (you have to create your own luck!) to have a magnificent lunch and wine tasting at the wine tour we recently organised in the Languedoc-Roussillon. This district certainly merits becoming much better known among wine lovers: they make great wine and it is spectacularly beautiful. The small group of wine lovers that [...]
Le Wine Bar, Bordeaux | BKWine Pick
Bordeaux has not been very well equipped with ambitious wine bars but it seems to be changing. Le Wine Bar Bordeaux opened a couple of years ago and was probably one of the first in a new wave of wine bars that is starting to make this elegant city better on that front. Le Wine [...]
Wine bars and wine restaurants in Paris, a selection by Finare Vinare
Finare Vinare is an anonymous Swedish wine blogger (the name means Finer Wines in English). Evidently he was recently in Paris to explore some of the wine bars and wine restaurants. We are familiar with several of the addresses he mentions and can only agree that it is address worth exploring if you happen to [...]
Wine bars in Copenhagen
A selection of wine bars (with restaurants) in Copenhagen, the Danish capital. It has been quite a while since we were in Copenhagen, and even longer since we were at a wine bar in the Danish capital. One who is a more frequent patron there is Magnus Ericsson, news chief at the daily paper Helsingborgs [...]
AOC, Bar à vin, restaurant Avignon | BKWine Pick
Sometimes you find really good places – restaurants or other – in really poor locations. AOC Bar à Vin is one of those. Hidden in a very narrow alley, almost behind the rubbish bins, between two busy shopping streets at day time, but almost abandoned at night. Nevertheless, this is a very good wine address [...]
Enoteca Fuori Porta, Florence | BKWine Pick, restaurant
“The other side of the river” is a good place to look for a restaurant in Florence. Away from the worst tourist traps. This place is not only across the river but “outside the city gate” as the name indicates. It is not far though, just a five minutes walk from the Ponte alle Grazie [...]
Restaurant 19 Glas, Stockholm | BKWine Pick
19 Glas is Swedish for nineteen glasses and this is without a doubt one of Stockholm’s best wine addresses. It is a tiny restaurant, in the centre of the historic Old Town (Gamla Stan), with a small bar section – but with a huge wine list. One has to start with the wine list when [...]
”What is there to do in Paris?”
Someone asked us that question the other day so we sat down and wrote an email with a list. It ended up being a selection of all sorts of things: restaurants, wine bars, wine shops, museums, places to visit (don’t miss the Marché aligre!)… Then it struck us that perhaps that list could be interesting [...]
Chafariz do Vinho Enoteca, Lisbon | BKWine Pick, restaurant
The Chafariz do Vinho is primarily a wine bar. The restaurant element of it is modest although what they serve is very good. Architecturally and historically it is a curious place. The restaurant is located in what once was the end (the pumping station?) of an aqueduct and one can still almost feel the damp [...]
An enjoyable trip to Paris – some recommendations
Someone recently asked us the question: Do you have any good recommendations for Paris? Restaurants that are good but not necessarily luxurious, nice place to visit, museums that one might not think of…? We should, shouldn’t we? So we sat down and gave it a thought. Since the people who asked the question would be [...]
Chai Pascal Bar à Vins, Saint Emilion – BKWine Pick
This charming wine bar opened in the old town of St Emilion a year ago by Pascal Fauvel, who runs the place, and Catherine Papon-Nouvel, the owner of three St Emilion chateaux: Château Gaillard, Château Petit Gravet Ainé and Clos Saint Julien (see our video with Catherine here). Catherine’s wines are of course on offer [...]
