TasteCab: “Short thematic tasting session to discover wines. It is known for fun discussions about tasting and other things of life.”

Concept

The focus of our TasteCabs is on tasting and discussing wines within a pre-defined theme.
    • We taste 7 till 9 bottles of wine
    • Material: You get a short overview of the region, the wines, and the wine domains. Don’t expect an extensive slide deck, this is reserved for our thematic courses. In these sessions it is all about tasting & having fun.
    • Time: these sessions are shorter than our regular courses: 19.30 tot 21.30/22.00
    • Venue: Brussels, 1090 Jette, De Smet de Naeyerlaan 220.

SPANISH INDIGENOUS GRAPES

Spain is well known for its high quality wines of  Garnacha & Tempranillo. However, Spain has much more to offer than only these two grapes. During this session we go deeper into the Spanish scene, where a new generation of winemakers want to revive other lesser known Spanish grapes. So tonight no Garnacha nor Tempranillo, but the “new kids on the block“ and be sure that as always – quality will be high.

TXAKOLI

Now spring is in the air, we start looking for fresh white wines again. Are you bored of Sauvignon Blanc and want to discover something new? Then you should attend our Tastecab on Txakoli. This wine from the Spanish Basque Country used to be a simple sipping wine for local use, but as of late also more serious and complex expressions of Txakoli are available. The 3 Michellin star restaurant Azurmendi even has its own Txakoli winery! High time to discover this unique product!

US PREMIUM WINES

US wines are unknown to many of us because they are hard to find and expensive. So why not join us for this TasteCab, where the idea is to taste and discover some premium wines from Trumplandia. Don’t worry… no politics, not too much theory, just tasting and enjoying good wines together!

ROSE WINES- NEW DATE

Rosé has seen a huge boom in sales over the last twenty years. Very popular with young people, especially on a warm spring & summer day. The wines are often conceived as fresh, even a bit dull. However there is more to rosé than we think. This evening we taste different samples ranging from pure freshness to complexity, as intriguing as their red and white mates.
