Fermoy Estate Wine Dinner - Thursday March 2010

We had the pleasure to welcome Michael Matthews, CEO of Fermoy Estate to Singapore on his 'Maiden Trip' visiting the distributors worldwide. It is great to see that there have been a lot of changes and improvements made at the winery and that there will be a focus on their core varietals.

During the dinnerat Boomarang Bar & Bistro, Michael took the opportunities to talk about the winery, Margaret River and the Australian Wine Industry in total. He also explained to the guests about the unique qualities of the wines from Fermoy Estate and I have to say, the wines lived up to their expectations. Chef Richard created a great menu that paired very well with wines and surprised us all on the quality offered compared with was charged.

Please find below some impressions of the dinner!

The casual atmosphere, combined with the setting of one big table, allowed the different guests to interact with each other.

Warehouse Wine Fair - 27.02.10

A cosy Saturday afternoon with an interesting crowd, consisting of many new faces. We opened 12 different wines ranging from Mt. Beautiful Riesling 2008, from Cheviot hills NZ to Fermoy Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc from Margaret River. On the Red side we welcomed wines like Trentham Estate Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir, Small Gully Harry's Cabernet and as 'piece de la resistance' the Gaelic Cemetery Vineyard Shiraz 2006.
We are already thinking what to pour on the next Warehouse Wine fair in the first week of May, details will follow!
