The Warehouse Wine Fair on December 5, 2009 kicked of the festive season with one of the best selections of wine open for tasting

The 'Wine Boutique at Home' concept was taken to the garden on a lazy Sunday afternoon, a refreshing idea! it was a relaxed and casual event, as it supposed to be and the wine for the event were selected accordingly.

Wine Directions proudly participated in 'Affair of the Vines II' at the American Club inNovember 2009. We brought a wide selection of wines from our portfolio and it was very well received, we sold over 20 dozen at the event! FYI the Frost Dodger Shiraz from Torzi Matthews and Mr. Black's Concoction GSM were the most popular among the members of the club.

Australia Trip May 2009

Hi,

After 2 weeks in Australia it is good to be home in our tropical Singapore! When I arrived in Adelaide, it was pouring down rain, the locals were happy, as it was a welcome break after months of draught, and for me? I brought at least 6 liters of sunscreen and my favourite shorts, didn't know it could be so cold and wet in May!

It turned out to be a wonderfull trip visiting the famous wine regions such as Barossa, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Mildura, Heathcote and Yarra Valley. I received a very warm welcome at the wineries and even had the opportunity to witness the vintage upclose and even help along.

Please have a look at a few pictures below, that will give you hopefully an impression of my trip. If you want to know more about it, drop by at our upcoming Warehouse Winefair @ Extra Space on Saturday afternoon May 30th and I will tell you all about it!

Cheers Arjen

Update March 2009

It has been crazy times with Wine Directions lately and we were too busy updating our weblog. We will do our best to post more on the blog and keep you updated this way.

What has been happening?

We have updated our website and added our new wineries with their wines, it is our pleasure to welcome Fermoy Estate from Margaret River, Cirillo Estate from Barossa and Torzi Matthews from Eden Valley.

We have also started a new concept called "Wine Boutique at Home" a wine buying party in the comfort of your own house. Have a look at the website and become one of our many clients that had a great night with friends and purchased beautiful wines at great value prices.

I would like to leave you with a few pictures of our last Warehouse Wine fair, the Anniversary event which was held on February 28, 2009.

With best regards,
