White Dutch asperges is a classic match with our wines so time has come
again to visit Holland this spring as the season is early this year due to an outstanding spring weather. The occasion could not have been better to spend a
few days with THE asperge king of Holland, namely the celebrated Hostellerie de
Hamert.
The friendship goes back 30 years between Pieter Smits and Hugel,
remembering the visit to de Hamert with Marc Heaberlin in the 80's as shown by
the photo in the restaurant entrance...
Magriet had already peeled almost 1500 kg of asperges by the time of the
visit and our longtime agents OR & Boelen (now over 60 years of
collaboration with us) did organise here a tasting and masterclass for top clients of
our wines as part of a series of events organised by Kees Klein Velderman at the
celebrated Alliance restaurant... now under management of next generation Roger and his wife Monique
By the end of the events, the glass recycling bin was overflowing with
empty bottles with the yellow label !
Time also to remind everyone in Holland of the launch our new website in
Dutch...
Holland is belangrijk voor ons
Holland is belangrijk voor ons
Dank u en tot
ziens !
