In December Wine Exchange Asia held their (well Bob the Minion’s) Favourite Wines of 2015 Brunch at New Ubin Seafood, which is one of my favourite restaurants in Singapore.
For moreWhite Truffle Dinner December 2015
In December 2015 I was lucky enough to be invited to attend a White Truffle Dinner at the Tower Club Singapore that was arranged by the Tower Club’s Executive Chef, Frank Kilian. As the meal was going to be something special we had to “push the boat out” yet again, and we most certainly did! For more
December 2015 Wines – Part 1
December 2015 Wines – Part 1
December 3rd was Wine Exchange Asia‘s very own Minion’s, Bob, 150th Birthday, as well as Jen’s 21st (or was that her second or ?? 21st, can’t tell), Jen is a Brown Bag Club member. As the 3rd was a school night the party was held on Friday Dec 4th.
As the Minion thinks he knows a bit about wine we all had to bring out our best magnum or larger format, so it was going to be BIG night, especially as there were 4 magnums of Billecart-Salmon Champagne Brut Réserve NV to start with. For more
A Few Quotes
My Mother, thankfully not her Brother who has the Uncle strain of lame joke syndrome, sent me these quotes which are appropriate for the silly season, to be honest they are appropriate to the entire year! Enjoy!

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”

November 2015 Wines – Part 3
I had lunch with a few friends on a Sunday recently and this is the wine that we were lucky enough drink. We all need more lunches like this one.
Sunday lunch at Burlamacco is always good fun as the food is excellent, their corkage policy is great and the service is always attentive but not obtrusive. A great restaurant, will post about a meal there soon. Recommend that you add it to your list of must try places in Singapore, if you haven’t already!
November 2015 Wines – Part 2
The air is Singapore has improved significantly in November which is probably why people have become a lot more interested in going out again, as can be seen by the number of wines I have been fortunate enough to taste this month. Here is the second set for November 2015. I did say that it is the silly season. More to come.
