A bright and airy fruity cocktail for this week’s Winebuzz pick.
JC Viens is a wine educator and holder of the prestigious Diploma Level 4, WSET and a certified International Bordeaux Educator. He is an avid wine lover and selects the Ben Rye 2007 from Italy, origin of some of the most rewarding wines.
Ben Rye Passito Di Pantelleria 2007 literally means “Son of the Wind” in Arabic after the plentiful breezes that sweep across the island of Pantelleria off the coast of Sicily where this outstanding wine originates. Arabs brought the Zibibbo grapes to the island from North Africa hundreds of years ago.
Come experience the wines and meet the winemakers.

Wine therapy products have launched at Thermes Marins Spa.
“The culture of drinking wine for health has been cultivated for many centuries and dates back to 6000 BC, so it was only a matter of time before we discovered the aesthetic benefits of wine” said Michi Sonoda, the Director of Thermes Marins Bali.
Ayana Resort with their new Wine Body Treatment and Wine Facials can claim to be the first and only spa in South-East Asia to offer this treatment.
