I’m fortunate to know a very lovely couple. He imports French wines and she is an artist, among things.
I should qualify myself to start. I am not a wine critic nor do I pretend to be. I am a writer. And for me, my speciality is the human element and writing about it. Yes, I have enjoyed wine in my time and while I am not a drinker now, I can still appreciate the art of the grapes. And I can certainly appreciate the work and passion put into this process by someone like Ronny Janssen.
Attending my first wine tasting in Europe where I smelled the champaign with a critics nose, I was enamored. Not with the wine, but with the presentation and the company. I can assure that the wine itself was getting great reviews at my table, this is true. However, Aromavin truly created an atmosphere that in itself was quite more addicting perhaps than the great wine being passed around.
Yes the several samples that passed by my nose smelled delightful and you could easily smell the differences in each. From a wooded smell, to scents of vanilla and the bubbly itself. But what made this event a complete hit in my book, was the company around my table, Ronny and his lovely wife.
The story of war and wine had me completely enthralled as she presented facts with a beautiful discussion and her french accent.
The setting was in a museum in The Hague. Formerly an old school house, it had a rustic and nostalgic feel. There was an air of elegance and comfort at the same time. From ‘they drink, they eat” to “it’s all in the cork”, education was the goal. It was clear that Aromavin put on a wine tasting to not only intrigue your taste buds but to also educate your soul. It was also very obvious that the knowledge of the intricacy of making wine was present.
And if you weren’t too taken by it’s intoxication, you would learn more than you bargained for.
While she spoke of war and wine, with notes I could hardly take enough information in… wine was passed around to choreograph the entire setting.
I was most enthralled with all the walks of life that greeted me at the table. From African decent to French and to the Dutch … I was soaked in many diversities. Yet, we all spoke the same language. Wine and it’s lovely taste.
With a classy yet comforting environment such as this, I would highly recommend that the wine connoisseur attend any event that Ronny holds.
Overall I just have to say bravo, Aromavin!
