La Dernière Goutte (the last drop) wine shop is now a recognized Paris institution. American born Juan Sanchez will greet you in his shop, if he's not at his most popular winebar/restaurant FISH, or searching the french vineyards for new and exciting wines.

Located centrally in the St. Germaine des Près area (6th arrondissement ) the shop is also a popular gathering spot for wine enthusiasts, French and anglophones alike. Pass by Saturdays for the free wine-tastings and meet the feature winemaker who will gladly share his wines and knowledge with you.
