INDULGE

Het Badhuis (map)

Selected By: Paul O'Connell

Wine is an indulgence.
It's time to truly explore this very theme.
Richly delicious and sinfully good. Taking the combinations that make us love wine we will explore dark chocolates contrasted with red and whites and honey sweeted dessert wines. Our aim: to have you indulge and... be surprised!

Working on pairings of whites and reds with foods that work in delighting the tastebuds and evolving our own sense of taste. This tasting will dive into wines that make us wonder how we truely understand the delicacies that these flavours bring forth and play on the guilty excesses that can be indulged in.

This rich wine tasting will be held in Restaurant Het Badhuis, Javaplein 21, Amsterdam
They have a varied menu with quality vegetarian, meat and fish meals. We'll meet up to indulge in a pre-wine dinner at 18:00 (not included in the price). Let us know if you'll join in, so we can reserve a big enough table. We'll be happy to welcome you earlier on and already raise the glass!

As before, this event is a pre-paid event, so your place in the event can only be guaranteed if you have transferred the participation fee by Tuesday the 14th. The bank account details are:

    Will the wine be served with any food, or should participants eat beforehand? Thanks!

    Hi Sarah,
    There will be some snacks, but they're meant to experience the specific win-food combination, not as a dinner.
    Cheers,
    Sander

    The fig and raisen ports and the finish on a sauterne was a highlight for me!

    I had a great evening, thank you all for contributing to the 'gezelligheid'! My favourites were the Pouilly Fuissé, the vintage and colheita ports (with cheese and chocolate...), the Sauternes, and of course the Big Syrah!
