In celebration of all things grower Champagne, and the new bubbledogs van, Johnny, hitting the roads this summer, bubbledogs are hosting a one off takeover event at Dynamic Vines, Bermondsey on Tuesday 31st May. There will be a live band, wine tastings and of course plenty of hot dogs served from Johnny himself.
The evening will feature tastings hosted by wine experts such as Christophe Richelet (Dynamic Vines), Sandia Chang (Co-founder and Sommelier at Bubbledogs & Kitchen Table), Michael Sager (Founder of Sager & Wilde), Sunaina Sethi (Co-founder and Wine Director at JKS Restaurants) and Raphael Rodriguez (Restaurant Director and Head Sommelier at FERA). The tastings will each focus on different themes such as, Grower Champagnes, Emerging Regions and Bio Dynamic & Natural wines.
Critically acclaimed Swing and Jazz band Kansas Smitty from Broadway Market will provide entertainment for the evening. The band has a mash of styles which move through sounds of swing, blues, R&B, New Orleans roots music and gospel to create their own unique blend. As part of the takeover bubbles will be in good supply with two bars popping up at the venue supplying a selection of the very best grower Champagne and natural wines, and never one to turn down a party, Johnny will be in attendance for his first public outing serving up hot dogs & tots, not forgetting the champagne popsicles!
