Electric Bentley EXP 12 Speed 6e

Electric Bentley EXP 12 Speed 6e

We love the electric Bentley EXP 12 Speed 6e, whilst only a concept right now, the sales for Tesla are going through the roof, they are actually having trouble fulfilling orders, so we may see this electric Bentley sooner than first thought! Plus it is convertible, a huge gap in the market that has not yet been addressed as there are no electric convertible cars out there.
The concept showcases the British brand’s ambition to define the electric luxury segment and will allow Bentley to gauge public opinion and customer feedback to help shape its future luxury strategy.

Feted Rioja Producer Muga Lights Up The Taste Buds

Feted Rioja Producer Muga Lights Up The Taste Buds

Sommeliers have changed; traditionally they were unapproachably arrogant and regarded themselves of the kings of the wine trade.  However, there are exceptions, sadly there is one in an otherwise highly respected Knightsbridge hotel.  When the topic  of rose wine was raised in an interview, I para-phrase, he said with disdain, “I do not regard rose as worthy to be called a wine, but guests request it in the summer so I include it on the wine list from May until September”.

There is a plethora of fantastic destinations where one can go to unwind, recharge and enjoy the benefits of stepping away from the everyday routine. For some, that escape is a stunning beach in The Maldives or Fiji, for others it is time to hop over to the yacht in Monte Carlo or Lake Como, or relax and unwind by surfing in Bora Bora.

Burgundy Cruising On Board The 5* L’Impressionniste Barge

There is five star service by the book with lots of boxes to tick and there are the real five star experiences that can be very different delivering pleasure in so many more ways.  Quietly, hotel barges are cruising the most attractive waterways of Europe which offer supreme experiences for small parties, either by whole vessel charters or on a cabin booking basis.  Most people associate the word ‘barge’ with rather grubby and run-down cargo carrying vessels; nothing could be further from the reality with the hotel barges on which we have cruised.  Our cruise was on the Bourgogne canal on E

Art & Dining Excellence At Langan’s Brasserie London

Not a lot of people know this, but I’ve always hankered after dining at Langan’s for a long, long time. And, so it came pass this June when a group of us turned up at this very iconic British institution, which was opened in 1976 by Irish restaurateur Peter Langan, in partnership with actor Sir Michael Caine and the Michelin star chef Richard Shepherd.
