So here it is. Longer and better than ever! 11 wines in the mix: 9 Champagnes (one a £10 bottle), 2 English sparkling wines, all tasted blind on camera. Can Beavington and I spot the cheapie? Can we spot the English wines? Which is our favourite? 53 minutes of viewing pleasure.
Your best one yet. Thanks for sharing these videos. Best wishes for a great new year.
Well, that was a fun tasting, great that the UK Nyetimber showed up. Legras is a name we do not see in Canada but we do find the cognac-y GD here of course.
The Delamotte is one I will check out for sure.

We had the Nyetimber 2004 (Majestic) and 2008 (Waitrose), both in the new packaging and label. The 2004 was much much better, I would say 9, compared to a 7 for the 2008. We had 4 bottles of the 2004 and they were consistenly good, but only 1 bottle of the 2008. We also had some Nicolas Feuillatte NV bough from Tesco direct and it was a max 5, and then a bottle of Hardy’s Auz fizz which drove to move on to still wine.
I liked it! and watched most if not all of it. A couple things that might help make it even more fun for viewers: structure the reveal a bit better – unless a viewer was noting your scores/guesses as you went it was not that clear who guessed/rated what at the end; give us up-close snaps of the bottles to avoid cuvée ambiguity; compete – I think you should score your guesses and see who wins maybe giving Beavington a few points start; keep it <=45mins!
Happy New Year!

Great fun Jamie, well done.
I agree with Robert as I too found the unveiling quite confusing and struggled to keep up.
The numbering of the bottles was also strange imo.
Bob
Yes, what were the top 3?
It would be great if someone could post up the scores.
I would score William 10/10.
