’Tis the season
Hello,
The beginning of December officially marks the thawing-out of Mariah Carey, as klaxons around the globe begin to sound the opening chords of "All I Want For Christmas Is You". Coincidentally, it's also the perfect time of year to start popping corks—and for the occasion, we take pride in unveiling the second edition of the Tatler Dining Champagne Guide, created our wine editor, Sarah Heller MW. The result of tasting over 100 labels of champagne, the Guide handily categorises 60 bottles that made the cut into Celebratory, Collectible and Culinary—so that you and your guests can pick the finest fizz to imbibe on for the holiday season.
