Photography by Brian Roberts MAVERICK ENCOUNTERS Award winning Champagne House, Charles Heidsieck, have launched their ‘Maverick Encounters’ event series for 2017/18. The Maverick Encounters aim to celebrate modern-day ‘mavericks’; individuals who push boundaries, go against the grain and thrive in the face of adversity – all characteristics that mirror the House’s legendary enterprising founder, Charles Camille-Heidsieck. To celebrate future generations of ‘Champagne Charlies’, Charles Heidsieck is hosting a series of refined events that will span the worlds of food, craft, fashion and art. The encounters will be partnered with individuals they believe to be modern equivalents of the founder, or ‘mavericks’; celebrating the innovation that has reinvigorated their respective fields. The latest encounter was held at The Art School restaurant in Liverpool. Guests had the chance to see up close the culinary skills of the chef, Paul Askew, hoping to bring Liverpool its first Michelin star. 84 wirrallife.com
