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!

| Location: | Viale Cesare Pavese, Rome |

| Description: | Whisky & Indian Food - new menu! If you missed the promotional event on March 20th or if you were there and can't wait for another opportunity to taste the amazing combination of single malt Scotch whisky and a variety of tasty dishes from the Indian sub-continent, then here's your chance! The format and the venue will be the same as those of the March 20th event but the whiskies, presented by Rachel, a native Scot, and the dishes, prepared by Allen, from north east India, will be different. You won't get a 4 course dinner as such, but you certainly won't go away hungry! Or thirsty! You can read all about our last event here and see the pictures here: Scots love Indian food - 'going for a curry' is something of a Scottish national pastime - and Indians love Scotch whisky - in fact they now have their very own Scotch style whisky distillery which goes by the name of Amrut. Amruta, a Sanskrit word that literally means 'without death', is often referred to in texts as nectar or ambrosia. It is the 'water of life' in Hindu mythology and repeatedly referred to as the drink of the gods, which grants them immortality. The cost of this event will be €45. (€35 for CCR members). We ask you to put the sum in cash in a sealed envelope with your name and email address printed clearly on the front and place it in the ice-bucket you will find when you come in. At the end of the evening we will draw one envelope from the bucket and there will be a prize for the lucky guest. This event will be conducted in English and hosted for a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 28 participants.
