La Paulée, Daniel Johnnes’s annual tribute to Burgundy, is a once in a lifetime event for anyone who loves the wines of this region steeped in history. This year’s Paulée was held in San Francisco, which always offers a more relaxed setting than the hustle and bustle of New York City. The festivities started with a fabulous afternoon tasting in which producers poured three vintages of one of their flagship wines. Needless to say, it was a real treat to taste these mini-verticals given the minuscule quantities made of most of these wines.
