Everyone knows Roald Dahl’s stories like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Fantastic Mr. Fox, right? But not everyone knows that Dahl, being a wine lover, also wrote “Taste”, an incredible story and a tribute to the great Bordeaux, France’s most noble wine!

We loved the story so much that Aigars Nords translated it to Latvian to stage it for our wine-loving audience during the festival! So here we are, for the first time in Latvia, Roald Dahl’s gastronomic story “Taste” is being presented in Latvian during Riga Wine & Champagne!

The reading of the story (in Latvian) will be paired with a tasting of three fine Bordeaux wines, complemented by insights (in English) from Aigars Nords and Andrew Jefford!
