We instantly like the Spring Boutique during our visit mid-December 2009, and the place is starting to take off. Now they’re starting a low cost, weekly wine-tasting session that may turn out to be essential.

Daniel Rose and his wine director Joshua B. Adler certainly keep busy. Although the new restaurant still isn’t ready (still!), the boutique has a few activities coming up that could help the wait to feel less long. For example, their new wine-tasting and nibbles event every Thursday, or ‘Little Saturday’ as they’re calling it for a reason unexplained. Perhaps because all the best parties are on a Thursday?

For 5€ you can try a selection of wines « and enough to eat so you don’t pass out » (or so says their blog). The fun starts at 5pm, and the fun stops at 9pm, every Thursday.

Otherwise, if you are in Paris this weekend (Saturday 6th February), from 11.30am – 8pm de 11h30 à 20h you can taste – for free! -  the organic jams and chutneys made by Voyage en Saveurs, an independent producer based in Toulouse. The Boutique will be matching the various spreads with their own cheeses, and a limited edition roast chicken and chutney sandwich will be on sale. Sounds yumsome!

Spring Boutique est here.

Little Saturday is every Thursday from 5pm – 9pm. 5€

Voyage en Saveurs product tasting 6th February 2010 from 11.30am – 8pm. Free.
