i forgot to mention in my last post that we are having an awesome white bordeaux tasting this coming tuesday, september 16 at 7PM as part of our Tuesday Night Tasting Series. Bordeaux is known, of course, for its reds, but it also makes dynamic whites as well, based on the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes. We'll look at Entre-Deux-Mer, Graves, Pessac-Leognan and maybe even a Sauternes. as always--Chef Connal will pair four appetizers with the wine and present a cooking demonstration. all that for 30 bucks (includes tax and tip!) i hope to see you there!
in other news: i have leaped to a 1-0 record in les zyg's highly competitive fantasy football league. i look forward to my match-up in week 2 with Dan--one of the managers of our sister restaurant, Sorriso, for bragging rights on South Street. wish me luck.
nothing goes better with the sweet taste of victory than a fine glass of sauternes,

bordeaux blanc, please.
Back in the Mix!
So yeah. It's been awhile since I have posted and I do apologize. To the eight people out there that follow my blog, I'm truly sorry. But I'm back! Newly married as of August 31 and ready to reshape the way people think of wine. For those of you that have not heard, I was recently named Boston's Best Sommelier 2008 by Boston Magazine. I have, officially, one year of bragging rights. Take that, Boston! So needless to say, 2008 has been a good year so far, and it's going to get even better! On October 1 of this year, Les Zygomates will open its new Raw Bar! For years our fearless leader and owner of Les Zyg, Ian Just has been wanting to open a true Parisian style Raw Bar, and fourteen years later, it's happening. We are very excited to get started. So stay tuned as we get closer for more updates! In the meantime, we hope to see you at the restaurant: wine in hand, food in your belly and music in your soul. A bientot!
i prefer gruner veltliner with my littlenecks,
geoffrey
