As Monsieur Lucien never tired of telling me, "Anyone can buy a premier cru-all you need is money. But to discover a perfect little wine, now that is truly something." Same goes for the setting.

What follows is a personal, quixotic selection of places (most of them fairly modest by Paris standards) that I return to again and again. To quote Horace "Nunc est bibendum" - Now it's time to drink!
