By 0900 I had supped a Dom Perignon 2002, a Bollinger and a vintage Pommery rose ...
By 1100 a smooth gin cocktail had entered my bloodstream
By 1500 I had added a couple of reds - a Craggy Range from NZ ... and a sensational Bordeaux ...
By 1900 I had quaffed more champagne and red wine ... with some whisky ...
Oh dear!
OK - so - the champagne tasting was done in GILT - the hotel's swish bar ... Michele Caggianese was my tutor! He loves his champagnes!
To the main bar at the Rib Room where Head Barman Saverio Vicari made a couple of the signature cocktails ... gin and bitters are a specialty here.
In the afternoon we headed to The Ritz where we filmed a fabulous feature on game birds with the Executive Chef John Williams - ten minutes of highly entertaining television I promise ...
One day to go of London filming!
