simple: a whole afternoon on the topic of food and wine, divided into two parts: the first part of round table and a second more operational kitchen with bloggers in the kitchen. And yes, for the foolhardy, even an appendix of tastings of dishes prepared by our chefs and tasting of a selection of whites' Azienda Agricola Albino Armani , running at high speed with bloggers after the good test of their rounds in the Foja Wine of the # 4 Blogger .

The themes of the Round Table, from 14 to about 16:30, will be:

Champagne English?

Ah, the case. Mocking, malicious or simply ... random! Get the case (in fact) of a trip to London to work, grab a copy of the Republic just before boarding and a ride through the halls of the British headquarters of the prestigious publishing house I work for. And a cell that lacks only make coffee. Voila, the post was made. I'm not delusional, it all comes back. I open the newspaper as the plane flies over the placid French territory (another chance) and what I read? That because of global warming now, including land around Reims are not suited to the production of fine bubbles and that one must look to the north, the perfidious Albion as a new promised land for the production of this type of wine. It appears that Carol Duval-Leroy, of the same name its prestigious French fashion house is seriously interested in buying an estate of 200 hectares in the Bride Valley, Dorset, UK. Sealing (accidentally) owned by Mr. Spurrier, known English wine expert, who (accidentally) The Independent says that " My land is perfect for growing grapes that produce three types of champagne. acidity and soil quality are perfect. Its geographical position as well." Although so far the estate has been the preserve of innocent sheep. Add that London will host the Olympics in 2012, and that the first "champagne" of the channel could be ready for that very date. Since three clues are evidence, not that you are taking global warming (very serious problem, for heaven's sake) as an excuse to open up new markets of production (and consumption), even where there is no real need?

Back to my randomness, I land in London I take the train, then taxi, and I find myself in our office in Hanover Square. Lap time in the corridors in search of the bathroom and what I find myself in front? What you see in the picture above! Then there are two cases: either the journalists are doing great, big parties, or the British are really gearing up to produce their bubbles. Starting to get your palate with the French original product.

begin to fear for all these coincidences ....


For the record, as global warming and wine I have already spoken here and here.
