There has been a lot of talk lately about what the correct style of glass is for tasting champagne. Coincidentally, when I was on my tour recon visit to Champagne in May 2014, I believe I found the ultimate vessel to tasting perfection! It was the unlikeliest of times to find such a perfect glass,…

Vin de Champagne Awards 2014 – now the bubbles have settled
I am in my office and finding it very difficult to focus on the backlog of work in front of me – piled up after being all consumed over the last few weeks with my preparation for the Vin de Champagne Awards. What an amazing experience it has been. I was selected as a finalist…
An honour and a test that will have the bubbles rising
I have not quite come down to earth yet! Last week I received some news that was an honour, but also very overwhelming once the reality hit. Early on Tuesday morning, I received a call from the Champagne Bureau in Sydney telling me that I had been selected as a finalist in the Vin de…

I do love a good New Year’s Eve Party! I love the whole anticipation of the year to come and the chance to wipe the slate clean and start again. Most of all I love the bubbles that come with it! A glass of champagne is like a promise of things to come. Those tiny…
