Smell, drink and talk about it. These are things you can do with wine.
They are also things the Caron boys are more than familiar with. Time to step up their game.
Time to make their own wine. Quite a move.
But when you already own two restaurants, when food and drink are coursing through your veins from a young age, it’s mostly a pretty logical step.
Let’s just do it, they thought.
You know the Carons from Café Caron in Amsterdam’s Frans Halsstraat. Or from Petit Caron at the Gerard Douplein, in the same city. And now you know them from their own wine.
So let’s talk a bit about that. Their wine is called Lowel, after the youngest brother of the family. It’s a playful wine, fresh and modest. Made from sustainable, 100% Gamay grapes from the Loire valley. It’s got a fine ruby-red color and flavours of strawberry, raspberry and a hint of cinnamon.
“Talking about wine is nice, but its really something that should be drunk,” said a Caron once.
And that’s what this wine excels at: drinking. Accompanied by some light cheeses or a nice pate in the afternoon, for example. Or at dinner, with poultry. But Lowel is equally good friends with a nice vegetarian quiche, or with a lean cut of pork or veal.
You see, this wine doesn’t make a fuss. You should try it sometime.
Cheers!
