[Nexus] Champagne query

[grin] I won't ask whether anyone here knows anything about champagne, but I don't, personally.

We've got some bottles in the office, left over from an event, and the Fundraising department is wondering where on the scale of "good" to "pour down sink with nose held shut" they are ...

According to the label, it's "Sarcey Brut ~~Champage~~ Champagne", with "Private Cuvée", but there's nothing so classy as a date.

What is this stuff?

1953 Perrier Jouet?

(cries)

There have been advantages in working as a wine journalist for many years. On the other hand, even the best wine is not at it finest when it goes at speed up one's nose. Fortunately, I had a case.

I envy you and hate you in equal measure, and even more so for the case of PJ.

How did you get to be a wine journo? Such a cool job but not one I could do as I'd never be sober enough to write anything and I hate red wine.

Hmmm - not only a fizz expert, but friend of

chiller as well. A double threat (or doubly fabulous).

Both are true :)

Soph

I was already a journo and I applied to a job ad in the Guardian, I got the job because I already knew a bit about wine and because I could tell the publisher how to cook grouse off the top of my head. Sad but true.

May I friend you?

Soph

My dear, with your knowledge of fine wines, I shall be hanging on your every word!

If it's not too intrusive, where do we find your professional scribblings?

Damn, I'm already married.
