The program for our spring events is now online! After the Kartonparty and trout breakfast in March, we can look forward to fresh French goat cheese, Demeter asparagus from Brandenburg, and Vinho Verde! We are really looking forward to it—and especially to your visit!

In the last week of February, we flew to Porto to attend the two wine fairs "Essência do Vinho" and "Simplesmente Vinho". In just a few days, we discovered numerous exciting wines, reunited with many friends, and placed a few new orders that will arrive with us soon. Among them the fantastic rosé from Rita Marques (Conceito), a very elegant Encruzado and a fresh Vinho Verde. Read more about our discoveries and experiences in this blog post ...

Because the first edition last year was so successful, we are going for a second edition with our carton party in March! The concept is simple: because we are slowly running out of space for our many new discoveries, we cordially invite you to taste various wines in a pleasant atmosphere and then take your favorites home by the carton with up to 25% pallet discount.  On Friday, March 11 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Emser Straße 42!

We have two new Côtes du Rhône on our list: the "Carpe Diem" and "Trilogie" cuvées from Domaine Lefebvre d'Anselme. But even better than this news alone is that these wines come from the family estate of our intern, employee, and aspiring winemaker Marin Lefebvre. On Thursday, March 3, we cordially invite you to an unscheduled, informal tasting, where Marin will pour his wines and try to answer all your questions. It will be an enjoyable afternoon – we look forward to seeing you! 

To help you start the new year in style, we are preparing a lavish breakfast spread for you:At our large table, this time we will be serving our salted raw milk butter from Poitou-Charentes, raw milk cheese, Piedmontese hazelnut cream and Piedmontese hazelnut paste, mountain honey, preserves, sardines, terrines ... and of course the typically French Galette des Rois!

Those who can't do, teach! That's a famous quote by Woody Allen, which many have already disputed. We can't let Mr. Allen get away with this either, so we're simply turning the quote around: those who can, teach! True to this motto, we want to start in January sharing our knowledge about wine, cheese, and sardines in our own seminars. But it certainly won't 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'll also be happy to give you a little background information ...

The year is drawing to a close ... and every end contains a beginning. Hesse said something to that effect. Things are a bit less poetic over here, but decidedly more culinary! And that is why we are dedicating our December tasting to duck, that noble poultry that is particularly in season around Christmas. Under the motto "Duck good, all good", supported by our Catalan supplier Collverd, we offer you an aperitif centered around duck: roasted and smoked duck breast, terrines and lard bread, and of course Confit de Canard. To accompany this, we have sparkling wine from Luís Pato, which in Portuguese simply and very aptly means "duck".

Over the next three months, we also want to continue our event series and invite you to join us once a month to introduce our favorite products in a relaxed atmosphere. These could be well-known classics that we cast in a new light through an unusual combination, or also fresh new arrivals. The right wine pairing is always part of the fun, and we are already looking forward to refreshing and enjoyable evenings with you!

To suit the season, we’ll help you put on some warming “winter weight” and serve you the very best fats we have to offer: Ventrêche from the Basque Country, raw milk butter from Poitou-Charentes, Brillat-Savarin from Île-de-France and mackerel from Portugal. We’ll also pour you a glass of wine so we can toast together to the French Paradox! 

This Sunday, Cheese Berlin returns to the Kreuzberger Markthalle IX: the annual market for selected, artisan cheeses from many regions across Germany and Europe. Here, cheesemakers, affineurs, and specialist retailers come together, dedicating their passion and expertise to the traditions of artisanal cheesemaking. And we’ll be there too—come visit us and experience cheese in an unforgettable atmosphere! This Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm.

As a prelude to "Cheese" at Markthalle Neun next Sunday, we are offering you the opportunity to once again taste a selection of our favorite Portuguese wines with us and discover cheese from Portugal, which has brought us one of Portugal's leading cheese experts, Manuel Maia. This Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. 

This weekend, the Basque town of Espelette traditionally celebrates the fresh piment harvest. We are celebrating our favorite spice here in Berlin with a hearty breakfast, and we cordially invite you to join us. There will be sardines, saucissons, and classic buttered bread all seasoned with piment d'Espelette – with a sprinkle of piment on top. Come by for a second breakfast on Saturday, October 24, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. We look forward to seeing you!
