MJ’s guest this week is Pascaline Lepeltier. Growing up in the Loire Valley and detouring from a master’s in philosophy and a career as a university teacher, Pascaline began her obsession with wine at the two star Michelin-rated L’Auberge Bretonne. Promoted to the position of Beverage Director for the Rouge Tomate flagship in New York, she moved to Manhattan in 2009. Currently, she is a partner with David Lillie in Racines NYC, one of the top wine destinations in the US. She oversees a 2000+ wine list focusing on “vins de vignerons”, mostly organic, biodynamic and natural. Pascaline and MJ discuss everything from the virtues of hybrid grape farming in Vermont to her desire to pair wine and foods that have matching “energy” rather than flavor and structure. Wine and Philosophy class is session in, so take a seat!

A huge thank you to Pascaline Lepeltier!
