We are super happy to have hosted our first Spanish wine tasting with Bodegas Muga, an iconic Rijoa winery with generations of experience.

Guests had the opportunity to taste a selection of the winery’s extensive range starting with the Rijoa Blanco 2017, Rosado 2018, Selección Especial 2012, Prado Enea 2010 en magnum and Torre Muga 2015.Each wine expressed the power of Rijoa but also the years of experience Bodegas Muga have in crafting benchmark wines.

Our first public Champagne tasting.

We chose to collaborate with Deutz Champagne because of the extremely high quality and great value for money this house offers. Guests seemed to agree with us as the event sold out within days of going online. The tasting started off with the Classic Brut, followed by the Classic Brut Rose, then the luscious Amour de Deutz 2000 and finishing off with the complex William Deutz 2006.

We think that any series of tastings should include a Burgundy tasting.

For our first foray into this region, we took a trip across the region tasting wines from some of the most recognizable sub-regions with the wines from Domaine Faiveley. We kicked off with a glass of refreshing yet interesting Pouilly-Fuissé 2017, followed by a promising Puligny-Montrachet 2015 which still has years ahead of it of potential bottle aging. Guests moved on to 3 red wines.

The first red served was the Mercury monopole 1er Cru Clos de Myglands 2013, a delicious wine showing that Burgundy can be affordable and approachable. That was followed by Chambertin Clos de Béze 2001, showing evolving fruits, earthy notes and silky smooth tannins. The tasting was caped off with a couple of bottles of Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Porêts Saint-Georges 2014 en magnum.
