WINETWUNCH 3 : Bigger & better!

Hi Everyone!

It’s Saturday morning right now, and last thursday is still a very vivid memory.

For the third time I attended a winetwunch, an idea that started on twitter 8 months ago.
The concept is genious:
You bring a bottle, you have a seat, and you eat & taste all night long.
Having 20 people around the table means you’ll taste 20 different wines.

And this is what we’ve tasted. I added a number of stars * , to give you my appreciation.

Oh, and the bummer of the evening. A corked 3L magnum by @filipsalmon

As you can see, a lot of fantastic bottles in size and quality, and a lot of fantastic people around the table.
Wine for me is about discovering and sharing it with other people. A winetwunch is the summum of that idea.

Thank you everyone! And Volta in Ghent for the great food and support.

Cheers, Jelle

Hi there,

these are the pictures of an amazing diner we had yesterday amongst Belgian wine-lovers,-makers,-teachers,-critics…

The idea is straightforward :
You book a restaurant and everyone brings 1 or 2 bottles, and we taste the wines 2 by 2 and mask the labels.
No need to search for an interesting topic as we discover the story behind every bottle.
