I'm having a private chef come over and cook dinner for Mrs On Post and some of her friends for her birthday. It's currently a surprise. I'm going to be there too, of course. I'll be the only man there which might be a bit weird but I am a bit weird and her friends know that so it will probably be ok. 

Anyway, the chef has provided a menu that I can choose from although one of her friends is a coeliac so I just had to choose all the GF options, which meant effectively no choice but I actually think the GF options look pretty good. 

Anyway, I'm on my own for wine so I thought I'd reach out to some of you cellar hedz to see if you had any suggestions for pairing. Obv going to start with champers. I don't think it needs to be particularly fine wine so much as nice wine. From what I can tell they're more into drinking it than sniffing it and trying to parse out which particular dried fruit/decomposing leaf it is they're getting a whiff off.
