It took me years to realize it: Right under my nose Belgium produces some very good, even great wines.
A blind tasting a couple of years ago in which a Belgian sparkling wine, Chant d'Eole, beat all the best Champagnes to be crowned the best sparkling wine in the world was the culmnination of years of investment. But there are a lot more excellent wines where that one came from! Sparkling wines and dry whites dominate, but the country surprisingly also produces a couple of good reds despite its northern latitude.
In case you're interested, here's a recent article I wrote about Belgian wines.
In this tasting we'll discover a range of at least eight good Belgian wines, I'll tell you a little about the grapes and producers, and we'll enjoy some tapas that go well with the wines in a great new venue, The Nine.
I'd be delighted if you could take part!
The tasting costs 55 euros and is limited to the first 25 people who register via Eventbrite.
I provide full refunds to people who cancel up to two days before the event, minus Eventbrite's fees, which are non-refundable.
I hope to see you soon!

À propos de l'organisateur
Brandon Mitchener grew up in the United States and has spent the past 30+ years close to vineyards in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium. A former journalist, he has always loved sharing what he has learned with others--ideally over good wine and food and wine.
Brandon received his sommelier diploma in 2015 after a grueling 18 months of sipping beers, wines and spirits and learning how to pair them with food. Lesson #1: Don't even try to pair wine with pickles! Lesson #2: There is a world of good wine for good value beyond French wine, which completely dominates the Belgian market and much of which is over-priced.
He started Terre Mieli Cieli's wine tastings as a time and place to share and discover some good wines together in good company. The wines are always paired with plenty of good, appropriate food.
