On Sunday 22 and Monday 23 we welcome young biodynamic winemakers Lise & Bertrand Jousset (Montlouis-sur-Loire) and Sebastien Cornille (Roche Bleue, Jasnières) for a series of events throughout Amsterdam! First we're doing a fun little IN-STORE TASTING at Chabrol Haarlemmerstraat, where both domaines will pour their range of wines. Sunday 15:00-17:00, entry is only 10 euro's, capacity is about 50, walk-ins are possible in theory but best to secure a spot online NOW. Next up is an intimate WINEMAKERS DINNER at @restaurantwatergang. Here the winemakers will pour their wines alongside 4 matching courses. Sunday March 22nd - 19:00 - 4 courses - 5 wines - EUR70,00 p.p. - for reservations CONTACT WATERGANG. Lastly, on Monday the 23rd from 14:30-16:30, there is a Montlouis vs. Jasnières CHENIN BLANC MASTERCLASS for professionals at Restaurant Gebroeders Hartering. For inquiries & invites holler at @jannekevdleer.

From now on we’ll be doing a ‘Wines of the Month’ offer to give a little extra love (read: sales) to our favorite producers! For March: The Centre-Loire Edition we turn to three of the vignerons we visited earlier this month. First up are ‘Groseille’ 2017 (!!!) and ‘Matousé’ 2018 by natural wine young gun Alexis Hudon. Then two more classically styled Menetou’s by biodynamic leading light in the region Domaine Philippe Gilbert. Lastly we’ve got a white Quincy 2015 (!!!) and red Reuilly 2017 by Domaine Les Poëte, the near-quixotically ambitious project of Guillaume Sorbe that’s been showered with praise by @larvf_mag and @bettanedesseauve recently. #getyours in our shops or online now! #tenpercentoff #slagslaan #alexishudon #domainephilippegilbert #domainelespoete #guillaumesorbe #biodynamie #naturalwine #loirewine #sauvignonblanc #pinotnoir #gamay #gogogo💪

❤️TODAY IN BOTH OUR SHOPS 10% OFF ALL SPARKLERS!❤️ Make this Valentine’s Day work for you by starting it off with some delicious bubbles, even if you’re still looking for a date. Tip: this super briny single vineyard amphora fermented Macabeo from @animamundi_celler and a plate of wild oysters, guaranteed to hit the spot. #valentinesday #bubb #ancestralmethod #realwine @agustitroca @chabrol.overtoom

Also on the table tonight is the Mondeuse/Persan blend Cuvée des Gueux Rouge 2018 by our friend and Savoie workhorse Adrien Berlioz. The 2018 is finally opening up to its juicy potential so it’s sad we’ve got so little left..

We’ve opened a bottle of @liseetbertrandjousset’s stellar Premier Rendez-Vous 2017 to taste in the shop today! A way of thinking back to last week, when our uber-generous hosts in Montlouis made sure we started our Loire-trip off right. This 2017 is at such a great place right now, smack-dab in the sweet spot between fresh and developed, Chenin Blanc in al its honeyed but electric glory. Come join for a glass! #liseetbertrandjousset #montlouissurloire #cheninblanc #naturalwine #ladivebouteille #beatit

So we found a couple extra cases of Breton’s 2015 Bourgueil ‘Franc de Pied’ and it is DELICIOUS right now. Warm vintage of a typically slender wine gives a deliciously ripe but airy expression of Bourgueil. All of Cab Franc’s aromatic richness but so light and invigorating it’s almost ethereal. 🍇Uniquely made from Domaine Breton’s one plot of ungrafted vines, protected from vinelice only by its sandy gravel soils. 🍷2015 is singing, grab it while you can! #catherineetpierrebreton #bourgueil #vinnaturel #nophylloxera #cabernetfranc

🍷Cursusnieuws! Iedere maand geven deze toppers onze Basiscursus Wijn: Frau Spierings op de Overtoom en de heer Van Tartwijk aan de Haarlemmerstraat. Ook in februari uiteraard, en er zijn op beide locaties nog plaatsen vrij! [🍇] In vier lessen nemen we je mee op een tour langs de belangrijkste wijngebieden, druiven en wijnstijlen. Alle basics van het wijnmaken en wijndrinken worden besproken, inclusief klassieke wijn-spijscombinaties en veelvoorkomende wijnfouten. Hoofdmoot van iedere les is echter: wijn proeven! Door gezamenlijk te proeven kalibreren we ons palet en leren we de belangrijkste aspecten te onderscheiden en beoordelen. Tel daar de inspirerende smaakverhalen van bon vivants Pia en Casper bij op, en je bent verzekerd van vier verrukkelijke én leerzame avonden. [🍇] Op de Overtoom starten we op maandag 27 januari, de Haarlemmerstraat begint op donderdag 6 februari. Schrijf je dus snel in via onze website (link in bio)!

Join us this Saturday at @restaurantcompartir where our lovely @jannekevdleer will be slinging bottles from 17-21!

Very very very sexy new Beaujolais by Domaine Jules Desjourneys! Open and playful unlike any of monsieur Dupperray’s other reds, swirling and layered with luxuriously rich fruit at its core. Come taste in in our stores today, great Christmas-table wine! 🌲🍇 #julesdesjourneys #fabienduperray #Beaujolais #realwine
