  The American & Canadian Reading Group

  
  

  On the second Wednesday of the month, from 19:00  to 21:00 you are invited to join our Reading Group to discuss the book-of-the-month, written by an American or Canadian author. We meet once a month, our evening get-together is in the Brussels area.  

  Reading Group guidelines/criteria:

  We look for great authors who write in English, available for purchase in shops or online, not more than 300-400 pages, and prefer those that have a score of at least 4/5 on Goodreads.  The books do not have to be recent; they can also be ones you loved, and we might have missed.

  Interested in joining the Reading Group? 

  The Reading Group meets in member's homes in Brussels and the surrounding area.  As such, it is restricted to members of the AWCB and ACB.  Current members of the AWCB and ACB are encouraged to reach out bookclub@awcb.org with any questions. 

  Non members can find the conditions to join either club on their respective websites

  Join our partner Terre Mieli Cieli and celebrate Belgian National Day this July, with a discovery tour of Belgian wines. In case you missed it, Belgian sparkling wines have been winning global wine contests, and many of the still wines, especially the whites, are also very good.

  Both Wallonia and Flanders produce great wine, much of it organic or even biodyamic. We'll discover why and how, tasting eight white, rosé and red wines from both regions, sparkling and not.

  In case you missed it, here's an aricle Brandon wrote about Belgian wines.

  Book early to reserve your spot! Participation is limited to the first 30 people who sign up.

  PARTNER EVENT: 

   santorini wine tasting

  18 September 2025 - 19:30-22:30

  TapaSoif

  Rue De Witte De Haelen 24, 1000 Brussels

  

  Join our partner Terre Mieli Cieli for a discovery tour of Assyrtiko and other great wines from Santorini. If there is one grape variety from Greece that people outside of the country have usually heard of, it's Assyrtiko. This tasting will put the spotlight on Assyrtikos and other unique grapes and wines from Santorini and show you why everyone is talking about them.

  We will taste at least eight wines, mostly white wines--white grapes account for about 95% of the wine production on the island, and 75% of the plantings are Assyrtiko--but also at least one excellent red. We'll also taste an iconic dessert wine, Vinsanto--not to be confused with the Italian wine of the same name. We'll sample world-class wines from several producers including Argyros Estate, Volcanic Slopes Vineyards and Mikra Thira, a small winery on the "other" Santorini -- the island of Thirassia across the caldera from the main island.

  As usual, all the wines will be paired with plenty of good Greek food. The wines will be presented by Petros Fotopoulos, the agronomist and oenologist who has animated attendees at my previous Greek wine tastings at TapaSoif with both his passion and his depth of knowledge.

  Book early to reserve your spot! Participation is limited to the first 30 people who sign up.

  PLEASE REGISTER HERE

  Cancellations are possible until noon on 15 September, 2025. Participants cancelling after this time, as well as no-shows, are charged the full cost of the event.
