Per Gessle’s champagnes are out in November

PGAs it was already announced, 3 champagnes will be added to The Per Gessle Selection this year. After launching his great red wines Kurt & Lisa and Furet, as well as the summery rosé and white Sommartider wines, Per is now launching alcohol-free white and rosé wines under the fancy name Klunk. The rosé item is available only at Hotel Tylösand this year, in Systembolaget’s assortment only in 2015; white is available at Systembolaget from 1st September, until then you can taste it at Hotel Tylösand.

Articles are continuously added to the promo page on Expressen’s website and one of the new articles shares more info about the long­-awaited champagnes that will most probably become New Year’s Eve champagnes for many Roxers. 3 items are launched as of November 2014.

 

The_ImproverThe first, The Pleaser is made from a blend of grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It will be available in Systembolaget’s regular assortment and will cost appr. 300 SEK.

The second, The Convincer is a red fruity rosé champagne, which will be available in Systembolaget’s ordering catalog for 349 SEK.

The third, The Improver is exclusively produced in partnership with Blanc de Blancs producer Pierre Peters. This champagne will be an extremely limited edition of 500 bottles, and will be sold primarily at Hotel Tylösand, but early birds can also order it through private imports. The price will be around 599 SEK.

Per says his aim is not making The Per Gessle Selection the biggest, but the best. What else could you expect from a PERfectionist?

I hope to be able to expand the range slowly but surely so that there are wines in even more quality and price groups in the future.

 

Which Roxette songs would you like to hear live? #6

Roxette_Have_a_nice_dayTime to choose your favourite songs from “Have A Nice Day!”

This time “Wish I Could Fly” and “Stars” are excluded. “Anyone” was a single but only played live during the “Room Service” tour in 2001, so we decided to leave it in.

In case you are wondering, we will have a poll to choose the top 3 (or 5?) singles and maybe one with “rarities”: b-sides and other rare tracks.

And talking about setlists, do you know the website Setlist.fm? It contains setlists of many many concerts and artists and some interesting statistics too, here’s the page for Roxette. If you click on the title of each song you will see a list of concerts where the song was played. I haven’t checked the quality of the inputs, though.

Thank you for participating!

As always, you can choose up to 2 songs below.
