Girl Cuvee, Quick Bite, Mostly French Wine List, Le Siffleur de Ballons, Paris
Taking their name Le Siffleur de Ballons literally could mean drinking your wine in a hurry.
Many neighborhood places, some frequented with blue collar people used to served their wine in fillettes and ballons.
My grandfather frequented one such Bistro with a 'jeu de boules' in the back.
No 'jeu de boules' at Le Siffleur de Ballons in Paris.
This casual bistro-cave a vins has a mostly French list. All regions are represented.
A good place to catch up with friends with a plate of cheese and charcuterie and of course, wine.
The Girl Cuvee? It's Cuvée "Les filles" by Gilles Berlioz which I have not tasted.
i would not have known about the place if parisienne Eva Robineau had not given it her seal of approval.
Thanks for the tip, Eva.
