Those who can't do, teach! This is a famous quote by Woody Allen that has been discussed controversially many times. We would also like to respectfully disagree with the master and simply turn the quote around: those who can, teach!
True to this motto, we want to start in January by passing on our knowledge about wine, cheese, and sardines in our own seminars. But it will certainly not be like school! Instead, we invite a small group of no more than 12 participants to join us in getting to know the different flavors and pairing possibilities of certain products, tasting them, discovering them, and experiencing them. Of course, we will also give you a little background knowledge...
The dates from January to March at a glance:
- Les classiques, Thursday, January 21, 8:15 p.m. - 10:15 p.m.
€40 for 5 cheeses and 5 wines, including an aperitif, bread, and butter
Taste our favorite classic cheeses in combination with the right wines in this seminar. Learn more about the region, maturation, and history, as well as very practical topics such as storage and cutting techniques.
By the way: a classic Christmas gift as a voucher! - Champagne if in doubt!, Thursday, February 4, 8:15 p.m. - 10:15 p.m.
€52 for 4 champagnes and 8 cheeses, including bread and butter
We are often asked which wine we recommend as a universal cheese companion. Our answer: "Champagne if in doubt!" We will discover together how acidity and effervescence pair exceptionally well with the milk fat and sweetness of cheese, using four completely different champagnes. This will be accompanied by classic cheeses and new arrivals from our cheese counter. - Bon courage!, Thursday, March 10, 8:15 p.m. - 10:15 p.m.
€40 for 5 cheeses and 5 wines, including an aperitif, bread, and butter
Are you curious and interested in particularly ripe, hearty, full-flavored cheeses? So are we! And that is why we invite you to a test of courage. Ready for rock-hard aged goat cheese, rind-crusty hard cheeses, and intensely aromatic soft cheeses? Then this seminar is just right for you. With the right wines in your glass, it will become an enjoyable and above all delightful evening! - The fabulous world of sardines, Thursday, March 31, 8:15 p.m. - 10:15 p.m.
€40 for 7 different sardines, including an aperitif, wine, bread, and butter
From the water to the oil: join us on the sardine's journey from the sea to the can, learn everything about the essential processing steps that make the difference. And above all: taste sardines from different manufacturers, vintages, sizes, and preparations. A selection of suitable wines will, of course, also be on the tasting table.
Each at Emser Straße 42, 10719 Berlin.
