The Tastings Room

19:00 - 21:00 Tasting

Wine Wednesday in May!

Definitely the island's best valued tasting event - once a month the Local Nose presents the month's recommended wines, yes, all twenty-something bottles of them, to show you what the local market has to offer, where you can get them, and also to remind you that Wednesday night is already more than half the week gone!

 

For all this sampling, and yummy nibblies, at a very much agreeable wine bar, thirty lucky participants only need to contribute S$38 nett.

 

Believe it or not? Seeing, or rather, tasting, is believing. Laughing

 

This event is also publicized via the Local Nose Meetup and Facebook pages. It will be closed upon having a total of thirty keen drinkers put their cash where their palate is. Smile

 

We are taking a couple of 2011 winebar-hop's best picks to host these tastings, this month being: The Tastings Room, at level 1 of Marina Square. (nearest MRT: Esplanade, exit: One Raffles Link)

 

Be there or be very, very square.

 

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE - THE EVENT IS BOOKED OUT!!!!!

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU WEDNESDAY!!
