Following on from the success of the 61 La Chapelle charity dinner, I am organising another dinner for Pebbles at the superb Square restaurant in Mayfair,London this time featuring, for its first public tasting anywhere, a Magnum of CR "Hommage To Etienne Guigal "2005.This wine many of you will recall was made by Marcel and Philippe Guigal from their premium vineyards in minute quantity(two barrels) the wine to be only used for charitable tastings and not sold on the open market by the family.I acquired this wine at a charitable auction at Hospice de Rhone and actually collected the wine at the cellar door.
