Noble Rot – The Birthday Issue
The Birthday Issue - Thirteen may be unlucky for some but I’m sure that there could not have been a more fortuitous time to launch a magazine blurring the lines of ‘WINE MUSIC FOOD LIFE’ than 2013. Indeed, from the moment we published the first issue of Noble Rot in February of that year we’ve been riding the tidal wave of change that’s been sweeping wine and food culture and, holy Hermitage, it’s been fun. Looking back now, we’re bursting with happiness that Noble Rot has told the stories of so many of our favourite vignerons, inter- viewed our artistic heroes and heroines, published thrilling writers, illustrators and photographers, and spawned two beloved London restaurants – with a third opening in Mayfair this spring. It’s been a stellar decade alright, which we toast in this, our 10th birthday issue, with a cast of sainted Rotters.

Laguiole corkscrew Stag horn handle with shiny finish
The Original Sommelier Knife Forge de Laguiole® was created in collaboration with professional Sommeliers and thus gives it its ergonomics, elegance, and efficiency. The conical spiral, with 5 turns, of the Original Forge de Laguiole corkscrew optimises its functionality, especially for the delicate corks of the finest vintage wines. The lever, whose operating principle is patented, is casted from heated metal and as a result is very resistant, hence can withstand intensive use. The blade of the Forge de Laguiole® Sommelier knife is sharpened, allowing the capsule to be cut off cleanly and easily.
As most of the materials used are of natural origin, their appearance (colour, veining, grain) is likely to vary from one item to another and might be slightly different from the picture displayed.
Comes with an elegant leather case.
