London Experimental Oenology Seminar



The 6th London Experimental Oenology Seminar will examine principles of food and wine pairings through the lense of South American wines and cuisine. Why do certain flavours form perfect harmony? What is the role of familiarity in these pairings and do the principles shaped by old world traditions apply to new world wines and recipes? 
 
The seminar will take place on Thursday Feb 7th at 6.30 pm, Senate House London (room number will be indicated in the lobby)  
 
The tasting of Brazilian, Chilean and Argentinian wines will be led by Barry Smith, editor of Question of Taste and founding director of teh Centre for the Study of the Senses, and accompanied  by talk and creations by young Franco-Colombian chef, Charles Michel, a visitor and collaborator at the Crossmodal Laboratory in Oxford directed by Charles Spence.    
 
Charles Michel graduated from Institut Paul Bocuse in 2006 (Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management degree). Subsequently worked at Restaurant Tetedoie (* Michelin star) in Lyon, France, and then for 2 years at Dal Pescatore (*** Michelin stars) in Canneto sull’Oglio (MN), Italy. 
Since then, Charles has been working in Colombia,  researching culinary traditions while travelling through the countryside, as well as managing his own consulting and “Chef à Domicile” brand: “Charles Cocina”. For 5 years, he has been teaching amateurs and young professionals how to cook . Recently Charles has been developing a series of immersive multisensory food/drink experiences to complement Brand marketing strategies.
 
Charles is passionate about innovative cuisine inspired in Traditions and Art, using neuroscience research applied to culinary design, understanding the senses and emotions.
