The Christmas Champagne tasting has become something of a tradition at our Takapuna store. Anticipated as keenly by the team pouring as it is by the locals sipping and swirling, we have been through a few different themes - from broad discussions of the different Grand Marque and growers to sampling some of the superb 2008 vintage. This year we will try something different again - with pink as our inspiration. Rosé champagne is often seen as the sweeter, less serious cousin of the methode champenois. In truth these are (mostly) dry wines that can be every bit as special as the finest cuvée. Don't believe us? Book quickly and come in for what is sure to be a memorable evening.
