On Thursday 08th October, \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Whelehan\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJulien Comte\u003c\/strong\u003e from Iciar are teaming up to host an interactive evening dedicated to unraveling the secrets of this remarkable French region. Designed to make sense of Burgundy’s famous mosaic of vineyards without any of the snobbery, David will guide you through its iconic villages, producers, and quality tiers while Julien brings his expert knowledge of French gastronomy to the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo match the caliber of the wines, we’ve put together a fantastic spread of artisanal French cheeses, cured meats, and fresh baguettes handpicked by Julien from Iciar to complement every glass. Our line-up spans the full spectrum of the region: from the flinty, steely whites of Chablis and the richer, golden Chardonnays of the Côte de Beaune to the fragrant, red-berried Pinot Noirs of the Côte de Nuits. Along the way, David will share practical advice on decoding Burgundy labels, navigating vintages, and choosing the right glassware, while Julien walks us through the art of pairing fine wine with French cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt promises to be an engaging, social evening filled with outstanding wine, great conversation, and plenty of discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnly 30 tickets available! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e€69 per night\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom 7 to 9 pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/b\u003e With only 30 tickets available, this intimate event promises a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBE THE FIRST ONE TO KNOW ABOUT OUR NEXT EVENT! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be the first one to know about our next wine tasting or tasting series, make sure to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/omniform1.com\/forms\/v1\/landingPage\/5ebd57fb8a48f70ddba3dfa5\/63c6955c16a70b772460e457\" title=\"Subscribe to our newsletter\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esubscribe to our newsletter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wine-school\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Wine School Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58270754046296,"sku":"800001","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/the-magic-of-burgundy-whelehans-wines-dublin-exploration-thursdays.jpg?v=1787666422","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/exploration-thursday-thursday-08th-october-2026-the-magic-of-burgundy","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
