taste of london (entry 3/laurent perrier masterclass)

one of the features of our VIP ticket to the taste of london festival was an entry to the laurent perrier masterclass/chamgpagne class.

the masterclass was hosted by a reknowned food critic and television presenter Nigel Barden.

it was hosted inside the very cute Laurent Perrier tent (you know with the signature baby pink brollies), and there were a lil tipsy beautiful people hanging about.

our tickets said 7pm, so we were there just before 7 (after stuffing ourselves with yummy goodies from the different restaurants) and as we were ushered into the english setting of the tables and the orientation inside the tent, i was getting nervous as i didnt want to sound 'goodytwoshoes' because i couldnt drink.

[note: i cannot drink not out of choice but out of medical reasons as i am allergic to anything alcohol, so adrian was tasked to drink my share..to his delight,lol]


thank goodness, as the discussion about the wines and the taste, i would quietly (and discreetly change adrian's glass with mine so he could drink my glass after he finishes his share,haha.

but i was enjoying myself. every wine that was being passed on, between wine courses, there were hors d oeuvres of diffferent variety being served too. that, i enjoyed.

look'y here

it actually almost tempted me to drink..but i envisioned pictures of myself in hospital bed, with bee-stung eyes, swollen lips, tongue hanging out and breathing difficulties---i thought not.

the courses of the wine with the accompanying food, and that red one is the last rose coloured wine from LP, the cuvee rose.
