WineRelease.com's July 15, 2025 Monthly Newsletter.

This month we had 119 winery updates and 69 wineries releasing wine.

Had a fantastic time in Paris last month. I ended up spending every other day at Cave Vino Sapiens (145 Rue Saint-Dominique, 75007 Paris), my favorite wine bar. On my first day there, I met up with friends from St. Helena, Michelle and Roderick Murré of Azurine Luxury Travel. None of us knew we would be in Paris at the same time, so it was a wonderful surprise to share a bottle of wine together.

And onto another night and visit to Sapiens. Aurelie is one of the knowledgeable team members who can help you choose the perfect wine to try.

Aurelie recommended the Jean-Paul Bonoit Droin.

Olivier, Marie and their friends joined us at Sapiens.

If Sapiens is too crowded, or if you’re looking for a smaller, more intimate wine bar that stays open later (Sapiens closes at 10 p.m. while Les Petits Domain is often open past midnight), head over to Les Petits Domain at 208 Rue de Grenelle, 75007 Paris. A block over from Sapiens.

If you are looking for souvenirs in Paris, I recommend buying from Cissé. He is from Senegal, is friendly and respectful, and offers fair prices on his Eiffel Tower statues and other items.
Cissé is usually located in the SouthWest corner sitting on a bench from early morning to late afternoon.
