Torres’ Taittinger and BP Rothschild tastings

Torres is busting out the bubbles for a “garden Champagne cocktail” at Westin Hotel on June 14 (7:30-9:30 PM). For 180 kuai, customers get three glasses of Taittinger (“mainly Taittinger Brut Reserve and Prestige Rose Brut,” says Torres’ Galia Stern), finger food by the hotel’s executive chef, Christoph Suter, and live jazz. Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger will host the event. Tickets must be bought prior to the event. To RSVP, contact sophie@torres.com.cn at 5165-5519, extension 208.

(Note: Torres also has a tasting, on June 16, at the Ritz-Carlton. It features the wines of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and food of German 3-star Michelin chef Dieter Muller. At 1888 kuai per person, it’s not for the light of wallet.)
