Fine Burgundy Dinner with Nicolas Potel, The Goring, Belgravia, London
We are delighted to be returning to the family-owned and run hotel that's just a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace and has earned a reputation as one of London's finest hotels. Our special guests and your hosts for this sumptuous dinner will be Nicolas Potel and his UK agent, Graham Gardner. Nicolas will show a superb selection of white and red Burgundies to accompany a stellar five-course meal specially created and prepared by The Goring's Head Chef, Derek Quelch. Highlights are likely to include Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet and Grand Cru reds - I know Nicolas is hoping to send over some jeroboams just for this event. Places are strictly limited to 40 so don't delay - book now!
