Per Se

RT: Hello and Welcome to CorkRules!  A podcast where, in each episode, we will review a

wine list from your favorite restaurants. I’m your host Robert Tas along with Alissa Bica, certified sommelier, contributing editor at Wine and Spirits magazine and wine educator.

Hello Alissa, it’s great to have you on CorkRules.

AB: Hi Robert! Great to be here.

RT: Before we start let’s talk a little CorkRules. We created CorkRules to demystify wine lists because we know from experience they can daunting and intimidating. Like the one we are going to review today...

Our aim is to help prepare you to have an amazing experience by finding those hidden gems, or value wines or that special bottle that will take your dining experience over the top.

So today we are talking an icon in high-end dining by none other than Thomas Keller. We are talking about Per Se located in the Columbus circle area near CP.

This place is what culinary experiences are all about.

So, Alissa, I can’t wait to hear how we tackle an intimidating place like this and have the right wines to complement our tasting menu experience.
