Steve and Natalie

Contrary to popular belief, there's a Burgundy wine for every occasion, no matter the budget. The regional and village wines are more affordable, while the Premier Crus and Grand Crus are more limited and command higher prices. Regardless of price, if you acquire a wine from one of the top producers in Burgundy, then a quality product is a given. French wine laws limit the yield of grapes per acre, preventing mass production, preserving flavor, and maintaining the boutique status of the wines. The whole secret is to know the top producers and the top vineyards, which makes it possible to get the best wines in each quality and price category.

"Steve insists on buying direct from the winemaker; since he cuts out all the middle men, I get a great price that can be passed on to my guests."
