Following from last week’s Tim Atkin Caption Competition, here is this week’s chance to win a bottle of Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut Champagne. All you have to do is watch our very own spirits maestro Will Lowe make our Bibendum Times cocktail then come up with a name for Will’s creation.
The best name for the cocktail (as judged by the B …

Thousands of wines, hundreds of customers and months of hard work were condensed into 9 and a half hours yesterday. The Bibendum Times tasting, which has been part of our daily life for the past 3 months is suddenly gone. Now it is time take a deep breath and… think about 2011.
But before we get carried away with next year, lets celebrate the fun we had. We …

After 12 long hours at the Saatchi we are proud and happy with this hard day of work. So much has happened here in the last 12 hours, we took over the gallery and made a living newspaper out of it. An eventful day filled with case lifting, wine sorting, glass counting …

The countdown on the homepage says 17 hours, 13 minutes to go until we open the front door. Most of the team are already down at the Saatchi turning an art gallery into the home of the UK’s largest one day wine tasting. Our intrepid backstage photographer Erica has been out and about snapping the action as it happens…
Here comes the wine…

After months of build up (we first sat down to talk about the theme way back in the Summer), tomorrow is the day Bibendum Times finally explodes into life down at the Saatchi Gallery. Nearly 200 winemakers will be pouring over 1000 different wines and the RSVP list just gets longer and longer every time we look at it.
Hopefully, by now many of you will have visited the Bibendum Times website …

Last night Bibendum hosted a mini Pinot Noir summit at The Mercer. Leading …

Now that we have got over the festive splurging and the loosening of our previously-tightened belts, probably due to much over-indulging, it is time to set our sights on more taxing issues. Forget about for whom you will vote at the upcoming election, stamp duty holidays, …
Or just simply ‘Gruner’ to its friends. Friendly by both name and nature as you can pair it with anything – for the uninitiated (and shame on you!) think of the zip and zest of Loire Sauvignon Blanc with the perfumed notes of Riesling and a richer, more rounded palate. Made by the kings of Gruner, Laurenz V, in the Kamptal region close to Vienna.
(Burgundy bottles lined up ready to go at RIBA on Tuesday)
It hasn’t been easy picking a wine today. In contrast to tasting just one wine last week, this week has been a riot of fine Burgundies and there were plenty of candidates to choose from. Personal Burgundy 2008 favourites …

The Social Club
As regular visitors to this website will know, social media has been at the heart of Bibendum Times from the very beginning and it will be no different at the Saatchi Gallery on January 20th. The B Times team (or Gal, Erica and Gareth to give them their full names) will be up on …
