Champagne Pol Roger 2009 Vintage Tasted: January 31st 2019 Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I had a fabulous day yesterday which of course involved plenty of bubbly including this Pol Roger Champagne 2009 Vintage Brut which went down exceptionally well with our picnic.
12 hours of free-flowing Charles Heidsieck Champagne – heck yes! Mr Spittoon and I splurged on our recent trip to Thailand. Instead of buying Christmas presents and after saving like crazy we decided to put our money on business class flights on Singapore Airlines. The trip from Melbourne to Thailand consists of a 7-hour +…
Well, it’s my first day back to work today for 2019 and I’m pretty excited for what the year has in store for me.

The limit for bringing alcohol into Thailand is only 1 litre per person, so we definitely were going for quality over quantity. We also knew in Krabi, where we…
Tasted 21st December 2018 So spoilt! To have another bottle of 2004 Cristal Champagne again this year to celebrate our wedding anniversary. And I have to admit it’s tasting bloody brilliant this year! Like the past 3 years, we bought it from Chateau Guildford in Perth. Wasn’t he a smart man when he decided to propose…
