The First Cellar
February 7, 2010 in United States by BurgundyStreet
So i think i know a guy, who knows another guy, who can get me in contact with The White House Butler, who can then get me inside the place to look at the wine collection that I know exists there.
Actually, i’m assuming they had a cellar/wine fridges, whatever, all along regardless of W’s non-drinking habits. I mean, it’s The White House. Some one there must want a drink.
But the purpose of this mission is to see what’s on hand there. Is it all just American wines? I know that’s the traditional drink of choice at State Dinners, but is there Chablis on hand? Rose? How about snapping the rug underneath my feet with an expose of Gewurztraminers in the cellar? Expect an answer soon!
Well worth a look if you can blag your way in. I had a look in the cellar of the British government hospitality venue a few years ago. They had some truly amazing stuff in there and they only charged events historical prices: the Taylor 1945 Port was a hilarious bargain.
