Special wine night fundraiser

Dear fans and wine lovers. We are holding a special wine night fundraiser next week. There is limited space available so if you wish to join us, kindly to let me know but don't wait too long... you might find out that the event attendance list is complete.
For more information, click on the picture below:

The wine haves been selected and the choices of snacks that best compliment the wines are being researched as I write this.


Special Wine Night recap:
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Below you will find nine pictures I took Thursday night, but trust me when I tell you that not even combined do they begin to convey how cozy the wine cellar at The Triangle is.

On Thursday we hosted a special Wine & Cheese fundraiser and we all, without any exception were blown away by the location. Of course, our wine connoisseur Paul Jonkers made for an unforgettable night explaining in details and with many anecdotes the different whites and reds. He even managed to open our eyes to the world of olive oils.

Hidden by the passage of time, the "all original" wine cellar at The Triangle was only discovered during reconstruction of the site a few years ago. Once down the steps the ambience quickly turns from modern to old as you seem magically transported to an old European chateau or an underground room of the officers club in the movie "Lawrence of Arabia".

Below the pictures, which I admit are a poor representation of the setup of the event's location:

Needless to say, the fundraiser was a success. Thank you!

Here follows some of the guest's remarks about our special wine night:

"Let's keep this for ourselves"

"This location must be one of Curacao's best kept secrets"

But don't worry. In due time we will organize another special wine night, but rather than going around the world, we will concentrate on one country.

Thanks for reading and see you at the races!

Pete's successful roof-top party

It gives me great pleasure to inform that we had a successful fundraising last Thursday, as many came out to enjoy an evening of good Italian wine and great company. The fact that we had secured such a beautiful location at The Triangle surely made the evening a memorable one.

During the Wine & Cheese party our foundation's chairperson Priscilla Lotman introduced our Team Apparel T-shirt and raffled three of them. So we are off and running with that project as well.

I'd like to thank Bernina Modes and Presidente for sponsoring this event. Peggy took the bartending and kitchen as her responsibilities, while my good friend Paul Jonkers supplied the Terra del Noce wine and Presidente beer through Leanez. He also helped with the set up and overall smooth running of things. We could not have done this without you. THANKS A LOT!

And as requested by many, we will surely repeat this in the future so please revisit the blog from time to time. For now, enjoy some of the pictures of that night.

Thanks for reading and see you at the races.
