Rarely do you get to have a sit-down tasting through such a quality line-up of prestige cuv\u00e9es &#8211; comparing vintages, blends, techniques and expressions. To think that we\u2019re starting with Dom P\u00e9rignon and then start climbing the ladder! In the safe hands of Nick from the Fine Wine department doing the chat, and Jared keeping the customers happy, it is great glass after great glass &#8211; a fun, informative, classy evening.<\/p><p>Across the tables are artisanal cheeses that are a superb foil to the bubbles as the evening progresses. Wines are poured in pairs, beginning with some vintages expressions (and that Dom P\u00e9rignon). I do extoll the virtues of local M\u00e9thode Traditionnelle of course &#8211; but some of what&#8217;s on show tonight are amongst the finest wines in the world!
