New World vs. Old World - Blind Wine Tasting

For September, we invite you to blind wine tasting of New World and Old World wines that promises to be both educational and fun.

We will taste eight wines -- four white and four red -- in pairs. For each pair, one of the wines will be from Europe, and the other will be made from the same grapes, and if possible be from the same vintage, but be made somewhere else in the world. 

The tasting will show how the same grapes can produce very different results in different regions and terroirs, and test your skills identifying both the grape varieties and the regions from which the wines come. 

To make things fun, we'll declare a winner for each round and an overall winner at the end, Old World or New World. 

The wines will be paired with plenty of good food. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. 

The tasting will take place at the Comptoir Rodin in Ixelles and is limited to the first 30 people who register. 

Full refunds are available for cancellations up to 48 hours in advance.
