American Club Wine Tasting May 10, 2008

On the day before Mothers Day, Wine Directions had the honour to introduce a selection of their wines to the members of the American Club. As these wines are sold in the club's Gourmet Shop "Thyme", we organized a tasting set-up, in front of the shop. The club arranged for some cheese and crackers and we opened some great wines! The event was huge success and we sold over 120 bottles that afternoon! So if you are an American Club member, you know where to find our wines in the club!

Here an impression of the set-up and your host in action!

Welcome to The Wine Directions Weblog

As the website is finally up and running, it is time to kick start the weblog as well. It is our pleasure to show some picture of previous activities since we started in the end of February 2008!


We participated at the AustCham Wine & Cheese event on March 14 at the ACM,

We also launched some of our wines the retail shop at the British Club with a wine tasting of the wines available for the members, we received some great feedback on the wines.

We also organized a private tasting at the convenience of the function room of a condominium in town. It was a great happening where the wines were the oil in the networking machine between the different tenants of the complex. Maybe an idea for you & your neighbours?

We will be in touch soon and we appreciate your feed back at the postings on the Web log!
