We recently enjoyed the best lunch with Champagne Jayne – here pictured with me – at Vue de Monde, Rialto, as part of the recent Melbourne Food and Wine festival.  It was a sensational day with superb champagnes and divine food, as you would expect from Shannon Bennett at Vue de Monde.   Jayne had selected some interesting and wonderful champagnes matched to perfection with the food.

Champagne Jayne is a well respected Australian independent reviewer, author and expert in champagne. She has just won Champagne Educator of the Year Award at the 2012 Champagne Summit in London, and in she won the 2011 Best French Wine Book Award in Paris for her first book Champagne – Behind the Bubbles….a perfect combination for a wonderful day.  I was going to write in more detail, but it has been already done by another guest on the day and she has done it exceptionally well….Read what she has to say about that superb lunch >>>
