The Irish Chamber of Commerce is delighted to organise a wine tasting evening, with Merchants at Duxton, on Wednesday June 17th. Guiding us through an evening of taste will be Jason Schwarz of Schwarz Wine Company.
While there will be plenty of wine enjoyed, and people to meet, we will also hear the story behind the founding of Merchants in Singapore, and gain an insight to their interesting business model that has helped them grow from one, to three enterprises here in Singapore.
