Chicago Epicurean: Jean-François Clouet gives tour @ Clouet vineyards

Met this guy yesterday at a champagne tasting at The Artisan Cellar wine shop at the Merchandise Mart. I got a bottle of the Andre Clouet Grand Cru Bouzy Silver for $40. Great bubbly, if you haven’t tried it yet. (It retails for $70 or so.) Only bad thing: It’s hard to find.

As Clouet and I spoke, the passion he has for his work became quite clear.

Enjoy the video!

    And his passion for bear skin rugs and his French girlfriend came clear.

    WOW, passion for BEar Skin rugs? I can say this man has some sense of style for this elegant kind of rugs, this kind of rugs are quite expensive for they are rarely made.
