"Every time I open a book about wine I learn something new."

 

News article (whole page!) about our Champagne tasting in a hot-air balloon (Sorry in finnish only).

Champagne tasting in Hot-Air Balloon: Success!

The Champagne tasting in a hot-air balloon went great. We had 11 amazing people there, inlcuding a TV host Eppu Salminen with hes crew, crazy molecule cook Santtu from hyvanmaunrajalla.fi and very cool and amazing clients! I will write about the event here in English for all the international folks out there.

Here's few shots from yesterday. Check out Winenergy's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/winenergyfinland/ and http://www.winenergy.fi for more pics which are coming soon!

Don't be a Douchebag

Damn right! Read this article from the "The Feast".

Oh and every restaurant in Finland, train your staff to love wine! No matter if he or she is a part-time waiter with little experience or a veteran in waiting tables. In the long run this will affect your wine sales positively and people will come back just because you told a interesting story about the drink or a bottle of wine you served. Also this will enhance the whole dining experience.

Read, learn and share!
