Champagne Drinks
Hymnostic – Ode Ruby Wood
When you have an open bottle of champagne in our fridge it is best to use it in a sparkling wine cocktail! So, this is exactly what I did. On top of that, I combined it with the natural red aperitif from Ode.
Unbottled – A Blanc de Blancs Tasting
I’ve simply titled this edition of our regular tasting ‘Blanc de Blancs’. This topic was on my list for ages and while I do tend towards red grapes, especially when it comes to sparkling wine, you do have to appreciate what great chardonnay brings to the table. However, who says that we only tried this […]
Unbottled – Bonnet-Ponson Seconde Nature Millesime 2016

Unbottled – Pascal Doquet Arpège
It has been a while since I reviewed my last bottle of champagne. In this case, I am presenting the Arpège Blanc the Blanc to you. This bottle comes from the pioneer of organic farming in the Champagne.
A Sparkling Wine Tasting

Unbottled – Ayala Brut Majeur Champagne
I always wanted to try this champagne, because I was curious to see how Bollinger’s influence plays out here. Luckily, my wife gave me a bottle of the Brut Majeur as a Christmas present.
Another (Dry) Champagne Tasting
Just before the Christmas season starts, is the ideal time to discover some new champagne. Paired with the fact that our last champagne tasting was two years ago, I gathered some friends and we tried nine different bottles.
Tribute to a King – Paul Bara Brut Reserve
This is actually the last drink I mixed in our old apartment. Yet, I was not happy with the pictures I took in a hurry. So, I remixed the drink and also used the chance to present you a tasty champagne.
