Much better to get your wine from somewhere like the corkscrew rather than the supermarket where it is just another line that they sell. Personally I prefer to deal with people who are passionate about what it is that they do.
Paul - oh I agree! I think we're still lucky to have a lot of small, local businesses around here (not big name corporations lacking that passion :)
LOLfromPasa - thank you! And, sigh, so true - I'm afraid even smaller places (like Princeton) are facing an uphill battle against characterless chains!
cieldequimper - haha, I actually like ducking into Corkscrew now that it's a million degrees, because everything's kept chilly! But water is my drink of choice at the moment too :)
Jenny - he's joked that the reason he opened a wine shop in Princeton is because it's halfway between France & California! :)
Great spot to keep cool Lulu, and pick up a couple of bottles of excellent vino at the same time. Should have known it would be a Frenchman behind it haha!

Great collection, Lulu, and I agree with Paul (above)...this beats the local supermarket. There are fewer and fewer 'off-licences' about, sadly.
Bonjour Laurent !
Too hot to drink wine here now (at least for me), the temperatures are soaring, I'm sticking to water! :-)
Now all you need is a bit of cheese... :-)
What a lovely shop. Is the owner partial to French wines or does he love American wines too?
