Georgia, Georgia...
Do you have Georgia on your mind? If so you can have some on your palate (no not a French kiss!). A first at Mig's from the birth place of wine (some 7000 years ago!). You will taste a white Tsinandali and a red Saperavi (blended with a bit of cab).
Also offered to taste: cheap and cheerful wines from the Cape: Swaai chenin blanc and Swaai merlot.
CU Sat.
Cheers! Mig

Great new wines to taste!

Wonderful news from one of our quality suppliers: the two top wines from Columbia Crest (USA) have arrived: Eroica Riesling and Walter Clore, plus an absolutely delicious "little" pinot noir from Catena (Argentina), the Alamos Pinot Noir.
Be the first to taste them this Saturday the 25th of November.
Cheers!

Vote(z) Vin!
Vin: du belge ce samedi et du bon. Van Vlaanderen et de Wallonie: bulles, wit et rouge. Santé! Gezondheid!
Vote: il y a des bons vins blancs, jaunes, rouges, noirs... Mais si c'est brun, c'est passé et infâme. C'est comme en politique: la politique des chemises brunes est juste bonne pour l'égoût. Ce dimanche, votons démocratique. L'extrême droite, c'est bouchonné!

Cheers!Mig

Slow Food? No, slow wine from Slo...venia!
No joking. Movia is a member of the slow food movement and a producer of top wines from the Slovenian border with Italy, the "Brda" region (easier to pronounce when you're freezing cold!).
Have a look at their website www.movia.si to check out the beauty of the estate and vineyards, and -if you can read slovenian- to gather extra information.
Movia wines have lots of character. So you know what to do to discover them: see you at Mig's this Saturday the 16th from 11 to 7pm.

La Bulgare…rit (…) car enfin elle sort de son ghetto de tête de banc de vin « cheap » mais pas très « cheerful » d’Aldi.
Commencent actuellement en Belgique des importations d’autres producteurs que le géant en place. Et, si on voit surtout des rouges ( Red Bull … gare ? …), les blancs survivent.
Chez Mig, si les rouges de ce pays sont surtout des cepages locaux (Mavrud … tavrud… savrud(aie aie aie…) et Rubin (Tuesday) (ouch… !) les blancs sont à prime abord « classiques » (Chardonnay, Sauviignon, Riesling).
A découvrir ce samedi 19 août en campagnie de l’importateur : Christophe Sepulveda. (Soyez rassurés, la qualité de ses vins est de loin supérieur à celle de mon sens de l’ « humour» (ouf !)

BULGARIAN WINE TASTING THIS SATURDAY 20th OF AUGUST (all day and free as always)

See you and Gezondheid.

08/08/2006

Attention: pour une fois chez Mig's on ne fais pas les stakanovistes; on fait le pont (het brug in het Nederland), (not sure "to do the bridge" is good english but ...) So closed, gesolten et fermé le 14 et le 15 août.
Mais avant ça une p'tite dégustation ce samedi 12 août. A découvrir: deux portugais frais, un vinho verde classic et sec et un plus doux et fruité ( et oui ça existe aussi!)
Also to be discovered: a rich Spannish red from Calatayud (tongue twisting to say, tongue soothing to taste)
So, see you Saturday : Gezondheid!
