In My Lalique

Sort by:
I am nearly always lucky enough to be drinking a bottle of something interesting, whether it’s a delicious Chianti Classico with pizza in Florence or an amazing first growth Bordeaux with roasted duck in Hong Kong.
I like to tell a small story about the experience: where or who I drank the wine with; how the wine tasted or complemented the food. I usually score the wine as well.
I call this section of the website "In My Lalique" because I nearly always taste the wines using my wine glass I designed with the French crystal maker Lalique. I travel the world with a leather case full of four glasses. Click here for more information about the glass.
