  • This year we were appalled to find that EVERY restaurant and bar we went to in Paris served ALL their red wine cold, like from the refrigerator. When we refused to order it a couple of them said it was not from the refrigerator, only from the cellar. Some very good, popular restaurants didn't even offer the customer a choice of cold or room temperature. We were happy to see that this 'in' thing was confined to Paris.

     Not that I have anything against Paris, but it's not my favorite town. But, I AGREE with you.....I'd start with the food, too. Nice job, Denyse.
