| | Make it a kir royale, si vous plait |
 | | The affectionate French street term for kir is rince cochon, or pig wash. Believe it or not, that is a term of endearment. |
 | | I admit, though, this is neither the usual nor approved method for enjoying a kir, but it does make for lively family gatherings. |
 | | Short of ordering over the Internet (clintonvineyards.com), the only way you are likely to enjoy the exquisite treat of a true American kir royale made with Clinton Vineyards' Seyval "Jubilee" brut sparkler ($30), made in traditional methode champenoise style, and their cassis is at their tasting room in Clinton Corners, N.Y., and then at home. |
