We have been working with Raj and his wines since 2015. Initially only Sandhi Wines, then Evening Lands from Oregon and lastly also with the Pinot Noir specialist Domaine de la Cote. Each year, we grab the tiny allocation for Thailand, and are pleased to present them to you with the winemaker, communicator,  author and sommelier in tow.

Rajat Parr event cover

If you are a wine buff, you might know Raj from the Netflix documentary #somm. But his efforts was really to push a new style of Californian wines by helping set up IN SEARCH OF BALANCE, a small collection of artisan-grown wineries, that believed in “the more subtle, nuanced wines” of the Golden State. Now ceased to exist. But his efforts continue in the vineyards around Santa Barbara.

Domaine de la Cote

In the 2018 article BEYOND BURGUNDY by Jancis Robinson MW, she mentions “It is no longer the case that the Côte d’Or has a monopoly on fine Pinot production. A new documentary film called SOMM3* (in which I was invited to participate), includes the story of the Judgment of Paris, the 1976 blind tasting of Californian and French wines whose results upturned the assumptions of the global wine trade. In the denouement of the new film, Fred Dame, a leading American Master Sommelier, along with Steven Spurrier, the veteran British wine writer and instigator of the 1976 tasting, and I taste two very smart burgundies and a Pinot Noir from southern California blind. Spoiler alert: my preferred wine was the American, a Domaine de la Côte from Sta. Rita Hills.”

Tables can be booked at individual times. We hope to meet you there.

Some good friends from the far reaches of France have arrived in Bangkok! From Maury and surrounding area, this part of the South is extremely isolated. Off the beaten path seems almost too kind.

Domaine des Enfants Harvest Party, 2017

But like the few newcomers to the area at the foothills of the Pyrenees, Carrie & Marcel, are carving out some fantastically wild wines from the textural and saline Macabeo, as well as Syrah, Grenache and also Lladoner Pelut or hairy Grenache. The French authorities have recognized Cotes Catalanes as an IGP, which helps to distinguish the area from the larger Roussillon region, however when organic growers, ferment naturally, and age their wines different, the last resort may just be a Vin de France classification, which as you may know, if now brimming with some of the best names in any region.
