Dom Pérignon only releases a vintage when it feels it has something to say, and all of its releases are vintages—there is no standard product. Unlike most Champagne maisons who strive for consistency in their expressions and style, Dom Pérignon consistently seeks to create vintages that push and pull at the brand’s hallmark elasticity. The maison has partnered with Damien Hirst, who created a gift box and the bottle’s label, featuring a new take on his 2001 Kaleidoscope works. He took inspiration from the brand’s crest / label and made that the repeating element in the works, a blue and purple one for the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 and a pink and red one for the Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010. The 2010 Rosé rose from a cooler than usual spring, a hotter than usual summer, and a dryer year—until an August deluge dispensed months of rain in a 48 hour period, impacting some of the grapes with a common fungus. The grapes matured quickly and were harvested quickly thereafter, and the resulting vintage is one of contrasts and tension between “light and darkness.” It’s a great looking addition to a great wine, ready to be enjoyed or gifted. Dom Pérignon x Damien Hirst Vintage 2018 is priced at $305.

At a recent sushi dinner in Tokyo we were presented with a rectangular tatami mat. It was both a thoughtful gesture and a moment to put our phones screen-side down and focus on our meal. Founded in 1740, Kuboki Tatami makes a full range of tatami products and clearly isn’t stuck in its past, continuing to bring tatami to the way people live. The phone mat comes in nearly 40 different colors and patterns and is now part of our everyday carry—with both a physical purpose (keeping your phone germ and dirt free) as well as a note to slow down and enjoy a meal with presence.
