A World of Non-Vintage and Vintage

Description

At the elegant Vine Bistro, Peter Liem invites guests into the living continuum of Champagne, where non-vintage and vintage coexist as chapters in the same story. This tasting challenges the hierarchy between them, unveiling how reserve wines breathe soul into the present, and how a single harvest can capture eternity.

Whether you are a collector tracing subtle evolutions or a curious newcomer seeking your first epiphany, this lunch offers the rare pleasure of shared understanding. Guided by Liem’s clarity and grace, every glass becomes both an education and an awakening — a chance to feel the pulse of Champagne’s eternal conversation.

Here, even the seasoned palate will be humbled, and the beginner uplifted. Peter Liem gently invites all to set aside certainty and to meet again the wines they thought they already knew.
This tasting reassures every guest — expert or novice—that there are always new layers to unfold, new harmonies to hear, and new emotions to feel in wines once considered familiar.
