CHECKING IN

Xavier Thuizat, head sommelier at Paris’ Hôtel de Crillon and Air France, shares what he’s been loving lately.

 

Packing: For me, the most important thing isn’t what I pack, but what I bring back. I love to return with a bottle of wine or a local spirit from each place I visit.

Listening: I listen to wine podcasts in English, such as Wine 101.

Dreaming of: Japan’s Okinawa Island, for its gentle way of life, biodiversity, and ancestral shochu alcohol, which I especially appreciate.
