Blind Date Tasting - Nov. 21. 2008

Wein verbindet Menschen und Kulturen! Sie lieben Wein, geniessen gerne in Gesellschaft und möchten zu süffigen Gewächsen nach Herzenslust neue Bekanntschaften knüpfen abseits herkömmlicher und inflationär gewordene Partnerveranstaltungen? Dann sind Sie bei uns genau richtig: Streifen Sie den Arbeitsalltag auf angenehme Art im Rahmen unseres Blind-date-tastings, wo internationale Weinbesonderheiten die Geschmacksnerven streicheln, ab und starten Sie mit neuem Schwung in den Abend und lernen vielleicht ganz nebenbei den adäquaten Partner kennen! Lassen Sie sich gemeinsam mit anderen weininteressierten Singles inspirieren und erfahren Sie Wissenswertes rund um die edlen Tropfen in einem genussvollen und flirtreichen Ambiente.

Der staatlich geprüfte Sommelier Otmane Khairat vom Mövenpick Weinkeller Düsseldorf präsentiert und kommentiert an diesem Abend erlesene Weine aus aller Welt. Antipasti oder Tapas runden die Degustation auch kulinarisch ab. Stimmungsvolle Music-Klänge - mal modern, mal klassisch in jedem Falle aber beschwingt lassen den Ohrenschmaus nicht zu kurz kommen

Bei diesem Anlass gibt es nicht nur neue menschliche Erfahrungen zu gewinnen. Denn alle Weine werden blind degustiert und mit einem Quäntchen Glück winken dem gewieftesten Weinkenner Sachpreise entgegen: u. a. eine Private Weinprobe für 12 Personen!

Haben wir Ihre Neugier geweckt? Die nächste Gelegenheit, an unserem Blind-date-tasting teilzunehmen, bietet sich Ihnen am Freitag, 21. November 2008.

Ort: Mövenpick Weinkeller Düsseldorf
Beginn: 20:00 Uhr
