C'est Bon, c'est Belge!

Good, Belgian and even very good Belgian will be tasted this Saturday!

  1. The new aromatic « Cuvée » from De Kluizen
  2. A fresh and fruity kerner from Kluisberg
  3. Two rather explosive whites with a touch of oak but also lots of exotic fruit from Uylenbergher. Note, the Jubiléo is an oxidized and non fortified  wine –very peculiar.
  4. A top red from Aldeneyck that can measure up to good Burgundies.

Santé ! Gezondheid !

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.

Thursday October 3 : "Roots": the vineyard. What (varietals), where (geography, soil, climate...) & when (to prune, to harvest...)

Thursday October 24 : Bunches in barrels": the work in the winery, wine styles & winemaking.

Tuesday November 19 : "A lovely couple": food  & wine pairing.


Moreover, we'll also start again the series devoted to the various varietals.

Each evening, we'll discuss specific grape varieties in all their worldwide aspects.


The dates and themes are the following:

 

Tuesday September 24: Grapes from Burgundy (Chardonnay, Pinot noir)
Tuesday  October 15 : Grapes from the Rhône Valley (Marsanne, Roussane, Viognier, Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvèdre)
Thursday November 7 :  Grapes from Bordeaux (Sémillon, Merlot, Cabernets, Petit Verdot..)

Thursday November 28 :  The exiled grapes ( Verdelho, Zinfandel, Carménère, Malbec, ...)

THE Beers Tasting

 

Tuesday Octobre  22: Belgian Beers by Emanuele Corazzini -  Nova Birra


We do not provide any food (except for bread), but please feel free to bring any finger food you may want to share!

 

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.

 

Suits you?


All you need to do is send us an email to book the evenings you have chosen. Numbers are limited to 15 people, on a first come first served basis, so be quick.

The cost of each evening is 20.00 € per person.

 

Participants will be offered a 10 % rebate on any wines purchased or ordered that evening.
