Tiny Bubbles

Published on Friday, November 2, 2007, by Amy Wisniewski / Edit Post

I like to order sparkling water at restaurants, but all too often the not-so-tiny, not-so-natural, overly carbonated bubbles leave me bloated. Recently while cocktailing at Absinthe in San Francisco, I got into a conversation with Howard Case, who, amongst other things, imports Lauretana mineral water. Case waxed on about it, but I remained suspicious of the sales pitch. When I finally tried it, Lauretana did not disappoint—it stood out in a sea of, well, waters. It was clean and pure, with petite bubbles and a low sodium content, and it still left me hungry for my pâté and toast.

Lauretana Mineral Water, $176 for 6 bottles (also available in restaurants)

  • extortionate....try Badoit instead - it's expensive but not nearly as much as this one!

  • Are you sure you know the meaning of bloated? Needing to burp isn't being bloated ... not being able to fit into your clothes is.

  • And I thought charging eight bucks for a liter of San Pellegrino was outlandish. I'm sure it's really, REALLY good. I'll just have to assume.

  • $176 for 6 bottles of water? Talk about the Emperor's new clothes!

  • $30 for a bottle of water?! Chow Pick has become a joke.
