Grand Charity Dinner London 31st October.

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.

Bids are invited with the auction closing on Saturday 17th October at 12 noon

There will be 12 seats available and two others reserved for myself and a guest(who will be quite a well known wine personality )

This should be a lovely wine if a little young!!

Happy to report I have already secured my place at this [dance-clap.gif]

Very generous, Keith!

Yes a smart move on your part Nigel, Think when the identity of my guest is revealed you will be able to sell your spot on Ebay for considerably more than £1000. [good.gif]

Keith… I thought this was on the 31st October, NOT the 25th.

Indeed it is Phil----------cannot understand how that date crept in!! cheers Keith
