Laugh & Learn 2013

Our Laugh & Learn evenings are more and more successful and we thank you for your enthusiasm!

We’re sorry for those of you who have not yet been able to attend; we’d like you to know that we are doing all we can to satisfy the largest number of people by programming an ever growing number of tastings of wines – hosted by Xavier- and of whiskies –hosted in English only by our Master in Single Malts: Ray Walker!

A beer tasting is also programmed and will be hosted by Emmanuele Corrazini from Nova Birra (master brewer and artisan of the Big Mamma Stout notably).

So, jump on your agendas, the first come will be … the first served!

Reminder: these evenings will take place in the shop from 7:15pm till 9:30pm at Mig’s World Wines, 43 Chaussée de Charleroi, 1060 Brussels. Phone: 02/534 77 03.

Here are the themes and dates planned starting in September:

Tuesday September 17 : "Once upon a time..." A history of wine: how it all started, how it conquered the world.

Mig's wants you:

- To enjoy yourselves
- To learn while having fun
- To discover & taste a large variety of world wines (8 per evening)

The eight evenings can be attended separately. If you want to make the most out of it, attending all eight will boost your knowledge!

The evenings will be hosted by Xavier in English, French & Dutch -also in Italian, Spanish & German if needed! (*More info about Xavier further down). The sound of Xavier's laughter is even bigger than his knowledge of languages & wine! You'll be welcome to join in! Smart comments & dumb questions alike will be highly encouraged.
