Just a quick heads up for Melbourne people. Some of you may have had your palates wetted by my recent post about champagne that was part of Wine Blogging Wednesday hosted by sam of Becks & Posh. The wine I chose, an Egly-Ouriet, is on tasting along with a most fabulous list of other champagnes.

Here is the notification I recieved yesterday.


IT’S ON AGAIN! – Prince Wine Store’s Annual Champagne Tasting

Location: The Deck at Circa
Date and Time: Monday, October 9 (6-8pm)
Cost: $40 per person including Canapés
$95 per person including Canapés for entry to the VIP room

Now in its tenth year this tasting is always a great opportunity to taste a superb range of Champagne from many of Champagne's greatest houses including Ayala (owned by Bollinger and new to Australia), Billecart-Salmon, Bollinger, Jacquesson, Louis Roederer, Moet & Chandon, Pol Roger, Egly-Ouriet, Taittinger, Philipponnat and Veuve Clicquot. In most instances we will have more than one wine from each house to taste. We will also have a number of superb small production champagnes exclusive to Prince Wine Store on tasting including wines from Andre Clouet, Regis Fliniaux, Pierre Peters and Jerome Prevost.


And like last year we will also have our VIP room where you can taste prestige cuvee Champagnes including Krug Grande Cuvée and vintage, Dom Perignon, Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame, Louis Roederer Cristal, Billecart-Salmon Cuvée Elisabeth Rose, Bollinger RD, Taittinger Comtes de Champagne and Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill. Places are extremely limited and the price includes admission to the rest of the tasting as well. We will be serving canapés and you will need to call Prince Wine Store on (03) 9686 3033 to reserve your place. Please be warned however that this event always books out unbelievably quickly! Please note that payment for this event will be processed this week and if you cancel on or before Thursday, October 5 you will get a full refund. After this date you will receive a 50% refund.

If you would like to attend, and who wouldn't, call Prince Wine Store on 9686 3033. Just remember, be quick, it sells out fast.
