OYSTERS. SEKT. CHAMPAGNE. 🦪🥂
NILS LACKNER × CAMERON FOSTER
We think this might be one of the most fun tastings we've ever put on.
For one very special Sunday, our good friend Nils Lackner is joining Cameron at Portfolio for an afternoon dedicated to three of their favourite things: oysters, German sparkling wine and Champagne.
And when we say Nils knows oysters and wine, we really mean it.
Based on the German island of Sylt, Nils is one of Europe's leading oyster specialists, one of only two Europeans to have achieved Level 2 with the Oyster Master Guild, a Champagne lecturer, Chevalier of the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne and one of Germany's Top 50 Sommeliers. He has hosted more than 1,500 wine events around the world.Â
More importantly, he's an old friend of Cameron's — and putting the two of them in front of a room with oysters and several bottles of sparkling wine seemed like an extremely good idea.
Across the afternoon we'll taste four different oysters, exploring their origins, styles, flavours and what makes one oyster completely different from another.
Alongside them, Cameron and Nils will pour four sparkling wines — two German and two Champagnes — exploring how the wines work with the different oysters and why sparkling wine and oysters make such a brilliant combination.
As always, this won't be a tasting where you're expected to sit quietly taking notes.
There'll be plenty to learn. There'll also be plenty of stories, opinions, disagreements, Champagne and probably some questionable behaviour.
Think our usual Portfolio Champagne tastings, turned up several notches.
