Grower Champagne

With December being such a festive month, we decided to focus on Champagne for this episode. Specifically, we are talking about Grower Champagne which seems to be getting more and more attention both in France and from abroad. We invited Thierry Givone from Wine Tasting in Paris to talk us through the topic.

French Whisky

This month we’re talking French whisky! Did you know that whisky is not only the most popular spirit in France, but that the French drink more whisky than any other country?! (about 2.2 litres per capita annually as opposed to, for example, about 1.5 litres per capita in the US!)

Hello Cocktail Lovers. This month is the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau! And to celebrate the occasion, I invited Aaron Ayscough of Not Drinking Poison in Paris to discuss the region.

Balbine Spirits

This month we’ve invited Julien Maingraud into the studio. Julien is the founder of Balbine Spirits, makers of artisanal cocktails and spirits. Julien also started extraterrien.com, a blog around gin and cocktails when very few people in Paris were doing it (except maybe 52martinis.com)!

This month my producer Thomas Shamuyarira and I decided to take a break from the studio and headed to Shake N’Smash bar to check out their summer musical menu cocktails and talk a little about conceptual cocktails.

Craft Beer and Cocktails in Paris

With the fifth annual Paris Beer Week happening in June, we take the occasion to dive a little deeper into the Paris craft beer scene, compare and contrast it to the cocktail scene and take a bit about mixing beer into cocktails.

Getting to Know French Cider

This month we take a look at French cider – or cidre – to learn about the new wave of interest and brands we’re seeing in France, how it differs from its Anglo counterparts, and how a younger French generation is consuming it. To learn this and more, we invited Anne Paillou of Sassy Cider into the studio to chat.

Getting to Know Rhum Agricole

This month Paris hosts its annual Rhum Fest and for the occasion we’ve dedicated April’s episode to getting to know Rhum Agricole. We speak with Alexandre Vingtier, a French spirits consultant and author about Rhum distilleries, cocktails, and more!
