Mark Slater Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The wine list at Cafe du Parc is a shadow of what it used to be. There are now exactly four wines priced under $40 - last night, one of them was a Loire Valley sparkling Blanc de Blancs that they were out of when I tried to order it. I asked if there was a substitute, and my server said no. That made the least expensive sparkler on the menu an eye-popping $60 for a run-of-the-mill Crémant de Bourgogne. Want the "pleasure" (*) of Moí«t et Chandon "White Star?" That will set you back $95 (**). White Star has been renamed Imperial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 White Star has been renamed Imperial. I thought that it was a new wine as opposed to a rebranding, Imperial is a Brut (or so says the bottle), while White Star was Extra Dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 White Star has been renamed Imperial. FWIW, it's labeled White Star (and misspelled) on their menu. I thought that it was a new wine as opposed to a rebranding, Imperial is a Brut (or so says the bottle), while White Star was Extra Dry. It is a new wine, although it's a quasi-rebranding since they discontinued the old one at the same time (I wonder if the wholesale price increased during the changeover).
