I haz a sad.
No, come on. The "twin" city of Paris is Chicago. Much closer in spirit.

Serious carnivore action in both Lyon and Chicago, that's for sure.

BTW, anyone ever notice that Sonoma is a sister city with Chambolle-Musigny? Um, no comment.

Best Pinot in the world! By that reasoning, Napa and Puligny-Montrachet should also be sister cities (towns). Also Savennières and Stellenbosch, natch.

Out of fairness and in further consideration, the (I presume) original producer of Pinot Noir in Sonoma, Hanzell, has produced some extraordinary Pinot Noirs.

True, sometimes they make nice Pinot Noir in Chambolle-Musigny as well.

One or two. Claude - have you tried the Scherrer Sonoma County Pinot Noir (not the RRV bottling)? Jeff and I got pretty excited about it on a visit this past summer.

That was one of my least favorites from them, showed somewhat typical RRV. Next time you're in town if I still have any I'll have to open one for you. Or you can, of course, try it yourself.

Yup, had many a fine meal there in the late '90s with many bottles I won't forget, including my first aged white Burgundy (an Ampeau Combettes) and my first Haut Brion blanc. Both definitely would've been under $100.originally posted by Lou Kessler:
Yes remember the place wellWe went there over 20 years ago because one of our wine geek friends extolled the superb contents of their wine cellar. The old man himself helped us order wine from the list. In those days not only was the list deep in excellent Burgundies but the prices were retail from when the wines were released. Hey lobster tastes pretty good with red Burgundy.originally posted by SFJoe:

"In my opinion the most exciting restaurant city in the U.S. right now is San Francisco (although they could improve their winelists but corkage is reasonable and welcome)."
I guess I don't agree with most of this. There are plenty of wine lists here that don't need improvement, IMHO. If you are using State Bird as your example, I might buy it: great food, sub-par wine list, but that doesn't apply city-wide. And that corkage is welcome is news to me.
