Maria De Los Angeles takes us on a video tour of the Fillmore and the Sacre Bleu wine bar

We opened the Sacre Bleu Wine Bar inside the Fillmore Miami Beach last Saturday to help celebrate the music of David Byrne and Brian Eno. Maria streamed live from the Fillmore and we made it accesible through out Twitter page for everyone to enjoy. If you missed her check it out here. This is a world class concert venue. We love being there.

A wine blog that honors irreverence

Wine blogs are plentiful. There are literally hundreds to choose from. They come from wine industry insiders, wine consumers and often casual wine observers who use wine as simply an occasion to blog. Blogging about wine has become a bit of a cottage industry. In fact, it has it's own Top 100.

With a few exceptions,what's been lacking in this growing landscape is humor and personality. No one inside takes on the bloggers to suggest that they may be a bit too serious and polite. We couldn't possibly mock ourselves. This is wine, after all...until now.

We give you Wine-ing 2.0. This is the perhaps the most original writing out there today. It is irreverent. It is unapologetic. It wants to bite the hand that feeds it. It wants to instigate. In short, it is refreshingly entertaining. It is not, however, prolific. Its author seems to have the output of Guns n Roses. Posts come way to infrequently.

2008 has been a good year for writing about wine. We've seen a number of good blogs come on the scene. We really enjoy Katie Pizzuto at Gonzo Gastronomy She is both insightful and persuasive. We love what Courtney Cochran is doing with Hip Tastes. and Mutineer Magazine completely changes the alcohol beverage magazine game.

Read on. All of these writers are to be savored and paired to wonderful wines. If we're on a roll here then 2009 is gonna be a great year to read and drink.

Sacre Bleu Presents Ari Herstand's CD Release Party: Whispering Endearments

ARI HERSTAND
This explosive artist, blending genres from acoustic pop/rock, folk, hip-hop and jazz, busts down the walls of the tired acoustic rock, singer/songwriter box and has forced the world to take notice. Ari's unforgettable live shows display his talents on the guitar, piano and trumpet. Fusing them with his vocal percussion and beautifully angelic vocals - with the help of his loop station - Ari stuns every person that has the opportunity to catch his performance.

Play This Pinot Louder!

Many people have described our Pinot Noir as "different" and that's okay. What I think they are really saying is that the style is not perhaps as fruit forward as many Oregon or Napa Pinot Noir's that they may be more familar with.
What they encounter with Sacre Bleu is a real meger in styles. The traditional French wines are sometimes described as "earthy" and this is where old and new world meet. Our Pinot Noir is the best of both of these worlds.
Our winemaker, Gustave Viennet, has produced a Pinot Noir that really embodies these two very different approaches. If you love Pinot Noir then experiment. Try as many as you can. Flex your taste limitations.
Ultimately, there is no right or wrong here. This is the subjective moment of your life. Beauty here is indeed in the eye of the beholder. So behold.
