Taste the Banned Beaujolais of Jean-Paul Brun on June 7th at Chambers Street Wines!

For those of you who have read Eric Asimov's report on the banning of Jean-Paul Brun, please note that you can taste these banned wines for free on June 7th at Chambers Street Wines.

You can also buy these wines, which were released and imported before the ban, and hold on to them as they gain enormous value on the resale market. I have heard rumors that the 2007 Brun Beaujolais has already quadrupled in value, only six weeks after it was released! These wines are certain to be collector items.

At Chambers Street, we are also going to be showing our favorite Beaujolais from some of our fellow importers. We'll have our wines from Alain Coudert, Michel Tete, Louis-Claude Desvignes, Jean-Paul Brun and Georges Descombes. From our colleagues, we will have Marcel Lapierre, Pierre-Marie Chermette and Jean Foillard.

Chambers Street Wines is located somewhere in downtown Manhattan and the event will begin at 4 pm sharp.

For more information on Jean-Paul Brun, you will have to scroll down this blog. It isn't that far. Have some patience. You'll get there.

There is a lot of great wine being made in the Beaujolais and we hope to see you at the tasting. Although I expect to be under stress and fatigued and might be impolite.

I had to clean up my act. Too many lurkers from the Asimov blog complaining. Plus I had to get rid of the Manhasset Rabbi's picture. Don't worry, I'll go back to normal next week. In other words, I've sold out for a week.

Time to take down the picture Joe. Remember it's not who you know it's who doesn't know you.

Maybe you should use a picture of Julio Iglesias drinking a Pauillac.
