Continuing with my previous post, I found that many people in France enjoy a Kir as an apéritif. Originally the wine used was Bourgogne Aligoté, a lesser white wine of Burgundy. Apparently the wines now used are based on region and the bartender’s choice but often you’ll find a Chardonnay-based Burgundy, like Chablis. In most restaurants, about a 1/4 oz. of cassis is poured in first, and topped with wine.
A Kir Royale is made with champagne instead of wine, and I like to add the cassis last so it floats at the bottom.
That’s one of my favourite drinks and the last time I had one was with you! FYI I got my card order yesterday (about 40 hours after placing it). Everything looks great and so beautifully presented. Thanks
