Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I address this newsletter to you all.
About 4 months ago I came off my mountain bike and it took a while to get back up to running speed. I am not there yet, but fortunately, I can compose this newsletter while sitting down…
Mrs. Lot van Geest, well known to many of you, decided to take it easy after 17 years of hard work at Renmar. Taking it easy proved more difficult than she thought, and she is now very busy growing Desert Roses with great success.
To bring the Renmar team back to full strength, we were fortunate in finding Mr. Rob Kouijzer willing to join us. He brings with him a wealth of experience gathered during his years in Holland and here is hoping that he will quickly adjust to the Curacao way of working without many problems so that we can all benefit . We welcome Rob, his lovely wife Maria, and the children to nos dushi Korsow.
A newsletter is supposed to contain newsworthy information. As such, we have been very busy setting up our website with links to facebook etc.
It is “Work in Progress” (and perhaps it always will be…) We would like you to check out our current rough set-up at www.renmarwinescuracao.com
Any constructive comments will be very welcome…
Many of our wineshave received high ratings and rewards this year. We are proud to feature many wines rated 90 points or more.
At the other end of the scale, we stock wines that are not rated (most South African wines are not submitted for rating) but are nevertheless excellent.
We are proud to announce the acquisition of the rights to distribute Sarah’s Creekwines. The wines are on their way in our next container, and should arrive during November. At the price we have in mind to sell these at, they should fly out of our cold storage..
We have started putting gift boxes together for the upcoming festive season. Our approach is relatively straightforward: we put good wines into a nice gift box or wooden case, wrap it up so that it is an attractive present to receive. We donot fill up a basket with bits and pieces that only sell once a year- you get value for money ,as always at Renmar. This is well received by our clients. It seems early to start thinking about December, but it is not really. Some wooden cases or other special items must be imported from Europe, and this takes time.
The month of October is wine month-
Doctor Dickjan recommends that you get yourself a good bottle of wine, good company, some bits and pieces to snack, sit back and watch the sunset. 2 glasses per person –until it is empty. You may not really get much older this way, but it is more fun.
Enjoy!
Dickjan
