Welcome to my bit of the Maison de Stuff, home to a huge load of pictures, and my daily blog.

[Friday 28th May] Went to Fortnum and Mason to try their Champagne of the month this evening; this month it is Laurent Perrier. The Brut Millésimé 2000: deep, complex, hard to define. Some bitter notes; hint of Campari perhaps? More of a winter Champagne? The Cuvée Rosé Brut had the dark berry fruit notes you'd expect in a rosé, but also an interesting woody aspect: burnt bark? The Brut NV has a rich, refined buttery aroma - like ghee perhaps. Beneath that citrus notes. Elegant yet substantial.
