The Drinks
The Setting
The Music
There’s nothing better than bubbles in the fall! Whether iconic champagnes, obscure cavas or proseccos, white or rosé, you can’t go wrong. These wines can have great depth of flavour but are also refreshing and great palate cleansers. For me, grape-based, non-alcoholic bubbles are the best fit: refreshing, with plenty of fruit and crisp acidity.
These days I find myself travelling extensively. So when I’m home, I want to be at my restaurants as much as possible. The natural setting for a perfect day is either at Garde Manger or, in the warmer months, the private courtyard terrace at Le Bremner, where there’s a small herb garden. There’s nothing better than late afternoon oysters with friends and family!
