The French salon of the 17th & 18th centuries, we are told by Wikipedia, was a gathering of stimulating people under the roof of an inspiring hostess. Their aim was to amuse one another and to refine their taste and increase their knowledge through conversation and readings, often consciously following the poet Horace's definition of the aims of poetry - 'to please and educate'.

What better way to describe the aims of a Whisky Wine & Words tasting event!
A present day setting in which fine Italian wines and Scotch whiskies of character can be enjoyed and more fully understood, where conversation will stem not only from an appreciation of the liquid in your glass, but from a line of verse, a snatch of traditional song, a folktale or legend, the evocation of a moment in history.

Our events are designed to suit any audience and can be conducted in English or Italian - or both!

Description:         

Scotland in a Glass - Whisky Tasting

Hold a glass of amber 'uisge beatha' - the 'water of life' - in your hand and you have the essence of Scotland before you. Perhaps more than any other distillate, Scottish single malt whisky echoes the land of its birth. It is the embodiment of that land, of its harvest, its heritage and its culture.

St. Stephen's Cultural Center Foundation in conjunction with Whisky Wine & Words invites you to come along to the Center on Wednesday February 17 to savour the true spirit of Scotland, not from just one, but from 4 different glasses!
A small selection of sweet and savoury nibbles will accompany each of the 4 single malts.

This event will be conducted in English with Italian 'subtitles' for those who need them!
Places are limited to a maximum of 20 so please make your reservation by Friday 12 February 2010.
Donation: €25 per person.
