Rochard Wine List Menu Limoges Box

A wine menu, the kind presented with a flourish at a fine restaurant, becomes a porcelain box in this Rochard Limoges piece. It is hand-painted in Limoges, France, and it toasts the pleasures of a good bottle and good company.

The Sommelier Recommends

Choosing from a wine list is part of the ritual of a special dinner, whether it is an anniversary, a promotion or a reunion with old friends. Rochard captures that moment in porcelain, giving the piece the look of a menu ready to be opened. Because a painter finishes every menu by hand, small differences in color appear from one to another.

For the Wine Cellar Shelf

This makes a clever present for a sommelier passing an exam, a restaurant owner on opening night, or a friend who just returned from Napa, Bordeaux or Tuscany. It also suits a wine club host, a couple celebrating an anniversary dinner, or a collector building a cellar. Set it on a bar cart, a wine rack shelf or a dining room sideboard beside the decanter. Grouped with other wine-themed pieces, it helps create a small tasting room on a single shelf.
