One of each of the takeaway options - the man himself was checking the food before it went out. Jolly decent stuff and fairly priced given the location and the event.
The conceit here was that we got a little spiel from the wine maker on each vintage, and then one from Andy at Courtyard Dairy for each of the cheeses. It worked really well - better than I expected - and the people I was with (aficionados but not fully committed wine nerds) really enjoyed it.
2015 Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Vintage
France, Champagne
The sign said this was the 2012 Vintage, however the price was right so we soldiered on heroically. A little plush perhaps but by no means flabby, lovely mouthfeel but lacking the delicacy of the 12. Not sure I'd seek it out but at a ~30% markup on retail seemed a good deal.

2015 Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut La Grande Dame
France, Champagne
Compared to the regular vintage - a similar breadth and even plushness in the mouth, similar yeasty character but much greater poise and bite. Available at the bar for a little bit less than current retail this was the value pick.
