SPECIAL EVENT

The event that the wine indus-try and connoisseurs look for-ward to every year is the Amer-ican Express Tower Club Wine Awards. In its sixth year now,
the awards endeavour to provide a comprehensive list of wines that de-serve to be savoured.
More than 280 wines from 12 cat-egories will be judged on Sept 12 and the results will be announced at the Awards Presentation Gala Dinner on Sept 18. A panel of judges (hand-picked by Tower Club members) comprising well-respected hoteliers, sommeliers and wine consultants will spend a day in blind-tasting sessions. They will then award gold and silver medals to the best reds,
whites and bubblies. The judging session will be mod-
erated by Ch’ng Poh Tiong, a well-known wine expert who published the first-of-its-kind Guide to Bordeaux in Chinese. He is also a regular contribu-tor to Decanter magazine in the UK.
The American Express Tower Club Wine Awards is a prestigious occasion in the Tower Club’s calendar of events. Established in 1997, Tower Club is Sin-gapore’s premier business club offer-ing members sporting events as well as food and beverage outlets where they can wine and dine at their own leisure or entertain important clients. “The awards acknowledge win-
emakers who are producing the high-est-quality wines, and they introduce these desirable wines to our members. We have received overwhelming re-sponse not only from members, but also from the distributors, which is testimony to the continued success of the event,” says C T Ng, general manager of Tower Club.
