“Een beetje poppenkast met uiteindelijk een proeverij die niet voldeed aan de verwachting. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding was ver te zoeken. Te dure champagne voor de inhoud. Er waren wat extra mensen ‘ingehuurd’ die kratten schoonmaakten en ze acteerden alsof ze een hoop lol hadden. Kort na de proeverij nog een keer om het huis gereden, maar het werk was ‘toevallig’ al gedaan en iedereen in en om het champagne huis was weg.”
