What is up with every single employee of Alinea being completely interesting in every way? We are setting aside our epic fascination with all things Achatz and Kokonas for the moment, and turning our watchful gaze on Justin Leone, Alinea’s sommelier, who teaches us how to open a bottle of Champagne the proper way, in this video from Eat Drink or Die.
Highlights:
- Justin refers to the ideally quiet, discreet pop of the cork as “the Nun Fart.”
- Justin is wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt.
