Press Reviews
"Any Burgundy enthusiast who does not jump at the opportunity to attend this event is crazy as it is a dinner/tasting of a lifetime." Robert Parker

La Paulée de New York can reasonably be described as the greatest Bacchanalia on the face of the earth.” - Financial Times, March 17,2007

"Must Tastes for 2007."  Food & Wine, January 2007.

"La Paulee de New York 2005. Wow. I went to La Paulee in 2001 and 2003 and I was wowed then, but I was really, exceptionally wowed in 2005." Christie Dufault, Vintrust Sommspeak.

"...Daniel Johnnes... brought the glory of La Paulee back to New York City earlier this month with a weekend of decadence, excess and camaraderie unsurpassed in the wine world." John Kapon, President of Acker Merrall Condit,

"The New York Paulée resembled the Meursault version in that it was flawlessly done - the wine dinner to end all wine dinners." Frank Prial, The New York Times.

"I wish more big wine dinners, especially the formal affairs, resembled La Paulée de New York." Howard Goldberg, Wine News.

"La Paulée de Meursault could not have been any bigger or more overflowing with bonhomie than the first Paulée in America...from start to finish, the evening belonged to Bacchus." Peter Kaminsky, Food Arts.

"So much great wine, so little time...if indeed a spirit can be imported, Daniel Johnnes did just that." Eunice Fried, Quarterly Review of Wines.

"For the sommeliers, the night was a busman's holiday to heaven, a chance to taste more great Burgundy than many of them had tasted in a year, or a lifetime." Wine & Spirits.

"[Daniel Johnnes] pulled this one off in a big way...it sure would be hard to match or repeat an evening like this one. It was magic." Alice Feiring, The Underground Wine Journal.
