No, not the dog from the Nilsson song. Veuve Clicquot Arrow, or more correctly, Arrows. I stopped at Segeco this morning to stock up on certain supplies, one of which was a case of Veuve Clicquot Champagne. Les Voiles had just finished, so I asked if they had a case of VC in Arrow tins.
Some background: A year or so ago Veuve Clicquot started packaging some of their bottles in Arrow-shaped tins. There were 29 different tins. Each of the tins had a city name, and the distance to Reims, home of Veuve Clicquot. Here are the original 29 cities:
There was a 30th tin created for the various Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic events.
There was also a 31st tin created. It’s rarely seen, and some say that there isn’t a 31st tin. But there is. I have several, as do a few other people here. Veuve Clicquot introduced a St Barth tin last year during Les Voiles regatta, and it was available for a few weeks afterwards until supplies ran out. The tin is back this year. Individual tins are available at Marché U for €65.
When I returned to the villa I was asked what I’m going to do with six VC Arrow tins.
I didn’t have a good answer.
Still don’t, LOL.
