The tasting room evoked a Parisian atmosphere with its steel and glass structure, whilst the backdrop of towers and turrets were unmistakably Victorian.

Perrier-Jouët Chef de Caves, Hervé Deschamps, led the first tasting and presented six vintages of Belle Epoque to demonstrate Continue reading →

Posted on February 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

A londoni St Pancras vasútállomás gyönyörűen helyreállított épülete, amely a Renaissance Szállodának és a Gilbert Scott első-osztályú étteremnek ad otthont, a 19-ik századi vasút aranykorát idézi meg. Az idei Champagne Assembly-nek nyújtott ragyogó helyszínt. A kóstoló terem acél- és üvegszerkezete Párizst idézi, míg az apró tornyok a háttérben vitathatatlanul a Vikótriánus építészet jegyei.

A Perrier-Jouët champagne ház Chef de Caves-ja, Hervé Deschamps vezette a nap első kóstolóját. A Belle Eqoque hat évjáratát mutatta be azzal a céllal, hogy Continue reading →

Chasing the Sun (Part 1) – Fine Wines from the Golden State: A Review of Napa Wines

Posted on July 28, 2011 | Leave a comment

The Napa Valley Vintners, the trade association promoting probably the finest wines of the state of California, was hosting a tasting at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London on 14 June 2011 as part of their early summer European roadshow culminating in their arrival at the biennial trade exhibition in France, VinExpo.
