I brought Mickey to the Select tasting
One of the perks of my loyalty tier with Celebrity is a complementary wine tasting. You get small samples of 2 reds and 2 whites. They are tasted in order from lightest to fullest, and a lot of information about tasting wines is also passed on.
A couple of reds and a couple of whites
Free wine tastings are nice, but... At dinner at Eden, I had a chat about wine with the sommelier, and she offered me a chance to do the Superstars in the Glass tasting. $300US after the $50 gratuity. Worth every penny. 😍 I didn't see this advertised, and it's a very small event. But, it's 5 full glasses of the kind of champagne I had previously only dreamed about, each one paired with the perfect nibble.
The tasting pairings
The red rose was just a nice extra

The order of tasting
The Perrier-Jouet was accompanied by the oyster topped with roe.
My absolute favourite was the Cristal with the ceviche
Everything was spectacular, right down to the finale of the salmon with caviar, accompanied by the Veuve Clicquot. To be honest, you will always have me at caviar, and this was a particularly delicious example. I would do this experience again in a heartbeat. And I discovered that I aspire especially to taste Cristal again.
Tuna carpaccio was a lovely choice with the Dom Perignon
