It cost 6Euro for the glass, she apologized that it was the most expensive. I was sleep deprived and overly excited and pretty ignorant of wines anyway. It seems that there was a "C" involved, maybe something like Cassay? Sorry to ask such a ridiculous question, but does anyone have any ideas what it might have been? Wed May 29 11:38:20 -0700 2002 0 Danna 1 1381381 Typical white wine choices with fish are Sancerre or Muscadet. Of course, REAL Chablis would have been good. Wed May 29 12:05:24 -0700 2002 1381376 0 mc michael 1 1381382 There is a variety of white wine from Provence called Cassis. Maybe this was it. Wed May 29 12:16:38 -0700 2002 1381376 0 rjka 2 1381391 That's what I'd bet on too, also knowing that Fish specializes in wines from the south of France.

Wed May 29 17:11:06 -0700 2002 1381391 0 Danna 4 1381400 If it was the most expensive it was more likely to have been a Chablis.

They sell in bottles what is served in the restaurant in by the glass. It appears from my information that the email address for this wine shop is goutte@club-internet.fr . You might try addressing your question to them, however, I, too, put my trust in Melanie's judgement. Sun Jun 02 08:27:23 -0700 2002 1381376 0 Andy Jacob 2 1381471 Thanks ! Have not found Cassis yet in a local wine store , but did finally find a proprieter willing to beleive there WAS a wine called Cassis, and that I was not desperately confused about the liquor! Mon Jun 03 09:13:02 -0700 2002 1381460 0 Danna 3 1381479 I suspect that not many white Cassis are imported to the US. One that should be available in several states is Clos St. Magdelaine, imported by Kermit Lynch of Berkeley, CA, that your retailer should be able to track down. Mon Jun 03 13:32:59 -0700 2002 1381471 0 Melanie Wong 1 1381472 In a very beautiful town called Cassis on the Mediterranean coast very near Marseilles the locals make white, rosé and red wines called Cassis, that are very much favored to swill with the catch of the day. These wines are also very popular in the great Bourride/Bouillabaise restaurants of Marseille. If it was white wine that you had, it is most likely from a blend of bouboulenc, ugnin balnc and marsanne grapes, although one can find wines purely from marsanne. Kermit Lynch in Berkeley CA imports a wine called Clos Magdalene (in legend, this is the place that Mary Magdalene landed when bringing the Holy Grail to france). It is in fairly wide distribution in the US. Other good producers are Eric Texier and Domaine des Roches Blanches. Mon Jun 03 11:25:52 -0700 2002 1381376 0 AnswerGrape 1 1381941 Could the wine have been Quincy? It has the "C" sound and is a good accompaniment to fish and seafood. Am living in Paris actually right now and have been to Fish (was unfortunately disappointed since had come for brunch and been assured that they would still have their Sunday specials by the time we got there (only 1/2 hour later), however it was not the case.) Might in fact walk home via Fish and check out the menu. Wed Jun 26 12:03:00 -0700 2002 1381376 0 Katie
