Before I start. If you love wine, enjoy good food go to the le petit sommelier de paris. A friend of mine introduced me to this embassy of good taste. It looks like a classic Parisian brasserie. Very quirky and nice. The magic starts the moment you see the wine list. The list is simply perfect. A fantastic selection of wines in all price categories, from all over the world. This is impressive to say the least. Staff are well informed and know a lot about wine. Wines arrive in perfect condition. The only weakness is the glasware. The glasses they use are ok but with such a wonderful winelist it is a shame not to upgrade the glasses. The kitchen offers a list of classics and are very skilled. Great, honest and down to earth fantastic food paired with an amazing selection of wines. LPSdP is a gastronomy wonderland. Did I mention that fantastic wine list?

Negative

  • Better glasses would make this 100/100

Positive

  • Great cooking
  • Fabulous service
  • good location

Conclusion

One of the best wine lists I have seen. Excellent food and service. This is such a great reference for Paris.  98/100 in the category bistro & brasserie

Located in the 6th arondissement in Paris. Founded by Enrico Bernardo. Best sommelier of the world 2004. This is still an insider tip. Most people only shop here for wine delights. You find a small number of tables in the well designed wine shop. They have a very good selection of wines. You can purchase a any bottle and enjoy it on the premises. No corkage fee is added to the price of the bottle. Furthermore you can order a small selection of tapas such as nice as duck paté with bread. The interior of the shop is well designed and charming. The have good wine glasses and excellent service and located right in the middle of the 6th. Sipping wonderful wines between fantastic bottles does have its charm. Here everything is about the wine. Good wines with good glasses. Everythings 

Negative

  • The shop is smalll limited seating is available and the shop closes a little early at 21:00.

Positive

Conclusion

A very nice place to go to enjoy an excellent bottle of wine with good glasses which seems to be a rare commodity in many wine bars in Paris. The design of the shop is stylish and elegant. When in PAris I will be sipping by with pleasure.

Located not far from Republique this winebar/bistro with a nice terrace on the streets of Paris creates a nice initial impression. Yesterday the place was busy and alive. When I get to any bar especialy in Paris I check the toilets... What you take for granted in many other countries can still be a big surprise in France. The toilet was ok. Pfew :). I like the inside of the bar which doubles as a shop where you can purchase a bottle and drink it in the shop (They add 6 euros to the price of the bottle). The selection is small but nice. From most regions of France you can find a nice bottle. They do not have a lot of aged wines but hey all together this is a nice option to have. The gentlemen in the shop helps you select the bottle and provides a good advisory service. The same goes for the food on offer. The  team is passionate about wine and food. I really like the cheese and sausage platters. The waiter explained which cheeses were on the platter. Excellent. The wine arrived chilled to the correct temperature. Excellent. If it werent for those darn horrible wine glasses. It would have been so much better. 

Negative

  • They use vacuvin to keep the wines overnight that are sold by the glass. The test Riesling I ordered was petty awful and passed its prime
  • Horrible wine glasses that do not offer a great wine experience. You get better glasses from IKea for 2 euros a piece.

Positive

  • Good Wine advice in the shop
  • Delicious plates of food
  • Wine chiller to quickly bring your bottle to the right temperature (Pre-chilled would be better)
  • The team loves wines and food!

Conclusion

This is  wonderful wine bar with  a lot of potential. Upgrade the glasses. Use a better system to store your wines overnight if you need too(I advice against it as with many wines you loose too much unelss you have a good preservation system). Reds by the glass are served too warm. But the staff is fiendly, food is very good and they have a good selection plus pretty fair prices. I will be back to see how this location develops. This is good wine bar with some basic flaws which can be rectified with ease.
