A Burgundy-focused block-party format
La Paulée Off Grid is a summer block-party expression of La Paulée’s Burgundy-focused world, held at Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn, New York City. The event is framed around Burgundy wines, music, and food from New York restaurants, with a more relaxed festival format than a formal gala.
Seminar, tasting, then party
The program is organized as three connected parts: a seminar, a walk-around tasting, and a block party. The seminar is titled “Exploring Burgundy’s Cutting Edge” and examines Burgundy through a fresh lens with emerging producers and winemakers.
The Off Grid Tasting showcases more than 50 wines from Burgundy producers and lesser-known appellations. The block party portion includes live DJ music, bottles available for purchase, and bites for sale from local Brooklyn food vendors.
Named participants and producers
La Paulée is the organizer, with Daniel Johnnes listed as founder. The seminar lineup names Ryan Goydos as moderator, with Icy Liu and Nikita Malhotra as panelists; Alex Delany is listed as DJ and music curator.
Rule of Thirds is the featured venue, identified as a restaurant at 171 Banker St in Brooklyn. Named winery producers include Julien Brocard, Nicolas Delfaud, Domaine Montanet-Thoden, Domaine Fèvre, Sébastien Christophe et Fils, Jean Collet, and William Fèvre.
