In a simple press conference held at MovieTowne, entities Wine Cellar and Massy Distribution, in association with the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC), launched ‘Wine Dase’ — a celebration of fine wines, cheeses and Championship Golf Tournament set for this Saturday at the LGC.
Owner and CEO of Wine Cellar, Marcia Nadir-Sharma, said, “Wine Cellar has been in existence for three years, but we have been in wholesale business during that period. But we were waiting for the opening up of the shopping area of MovieTowne to expand our business in 2019. As you know, golf is considered a very premium sport, and we thought, in association with Massy Distribution, that we should team up with golf and promote exclusive wines with the prestigious sport.
“Now, what we see our role (as) in this weekend’s event is essentially being there as a side attraction, as we don’t want to detract from the golf. We want the players to give their best performance in the competition, and (we want) also to bring a certain sense of awareness to the sport of golf,” she explained.
Tee-off time for Saturday’s tournament is 9:00hrs, and play will run until 12:30 pm, which leaves a lot of time for the feast. Wine Cellar and Massy Distribution’s side presentation will be available from 14:00 hrs.
In the golf tournament, prizes up for the grabs include 1st and 2nd Best Net scores in each of three flights (of handicaps 0-9, 10-19, 20-28) as well as the Longest Drive and Nearest the Pin specialty prizes.
The public is invited to enjoy observing this weekend’s tournament free of cost.
