The NoMad Rooftop

As most of you know, I'm a big fan of driving thru the big city early afternoon and finding a rooftop lounge to perch on and have my favorite libations and if allowed a premium cigar to cap off my new find. Well such a place has been found again, May I present to you the NoMad Rooftop Lounge....

 

Roofs: people have had some crazy ideas about what to do with them.

Raising them. Letting them burn.

You’ve always fallen more in the “sunbathe and eat a delicious meal on them” camp...

So ascend to The NoMad Rooftop,  from the chef behind the of-the-moment NoMad Hotel restaurant (not to mention Eleven Madison Park), taking reservations Monday.

Think of this as the restless, outdoorsy cousin of EMP. It’s all about whims. The five-course menu will change every day and have nothing in common with the downstairs menu. About getting a table: no amount of waiting or ritual sacrifice will help you. It’s strictly same-day reservations.

Every day, the website will open up for reservations at 11am. You’ll be asked to buy a ticket for dinner (which takes care of the bill). Then, just show up.

When that elevator bell rings, you’ll emerge into a cocktail-filled antechamber of iridescent pillows and brown velour couches. Grab a seat—that’s where you’ll have the first course. Eventually you’ll be ushered out to a circular marble table for the duration. From there, it’s all breathtaking skyline, bronze cupola (that’d be the dome) and your eyes rolling into the back of your head from whatever game-changing, thrice-braised stuffed-chicken dish they’ve willed into existence that evening.

This does sound like my kinda place, then again it might sound like your kinda place as well.

 

    I'm going and I hope to see you from afar, raising my glass up "Cheers!"

Krugs's Crown Jewels

 

 

 

       For centuries, the secret to taming the northern climate of France’s Champagne region and producing a balanced bubbly has been the art of the blend: mingling different grape varieties from an array of vineyards and multiple vintages. A small number of houses have turned around the paradigm and focused on a wine made from a single grape, vineyard and vintage.
Krug Champagne was one of the first and also most successful, producing consistently high-quality bottlings that are head and shoulders above most of its peers’ blended versions. The first is Krug’s Brut Blanc de Blancs Clos du Mesnil, made entirely from Chardonnay grown in the 4.5-acre Clos du Mesnil vineyard. This walled vineyard sits next to a church in the village of Mesnil-sur-Oger, an area prized for its mineral-driven Chardonnay.

     The Krug family purchased the Clos du Mesnil vineyard in 1971, and their first vintage was the 1979. The wine quickly became an exemplar of excellent Champagne, but one best known among connoisseurs. Since then, Clos du Mesnil has been made only in top vintages, for a total of 15 different bottlings through to the newly released Clos du Mesnil 2000.
With the success of Clos du Mesnil, the idea slowly developed among the Krug family that this bottling needed a partner. Olivier Krug, director of the house, explains that when he began his career with Krug his father said to him, “Maybe your responsibility is to find a Pinot Noir vineyard to be a little brother to Clos du Mesnil.”

     The opportunity to do so came in 1994, when Krug purchased the 1.7-acre Clos d’Ambonnay vineyard. A foil to Clos du Mesnil’s Chardonnay grapes, Clos d’Ambonnay is planted exclusively with Pinot Noir, as the vineyard is in the town of Ambonnay, where Pinot reigns as king. The debut of the Clos d’Ambonnay was from the powerful 1996 vintage, followed by the rich 1998 vintage, which was released last year. These wines not only express the pinnacle of quality from Champagne, but also the ability of top producers to think outside of the box—and with success.
While any wine lover should jump at the chance to try these wines, they’re also made for the cellar and can be enjoyed for years to come. The Krug Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Clos du Mesnil 2000 (98 points in Wine Spectator, $859) is a study in the interplay of finesse and power. Racy acidity and intense minerality drive this seamlessly meshed wine, while the finely detailed texture and layers of grilled white peach, hazelnut, kumquat and crystalized honey display overall elegance.
Hints of fleur de sel and coffee liqueur echo on the finish. Drink now through 2027. The Krug Brut Blanc de Noirs Champagne Clos d’Ambonnay 1998 (95 points, $2,399) is rich and expressive, yet elegant overall, offering aromatic notes of honey and iodine, with the flavors of baked apple, toasted hazelnut, currant, chanterelle mushroom, chamomile and dried herbs. Lightly creamy and refined in texture, it is fresh and focused throughout. Drink now through 2025.
