The bar was serving Moet when I turned up. I managed to persuade them that I would rather drink Mountain Dew and they came up with a bottle of Ruinart. Laurent Perrier Rosé was also on offer.
All fine, but I was rather hoping for something for interesting to kick off the new year.
The special (guest?? I can't remember what they call it) list isn't itemised on the menu, so I think the bar staff usually just assume you don't know what's on offer. I've had the list read to me which missed both Krug and LPGS, so I usually directly ask for a specific champagne. I also remind them that there is usually supplies in the back.
So basically, I guess it depends, but asking for a specific champagne usually gets results.
