Cheers – I’ll drink to that

Immerse yourself in the greatest collection of finest wines and luxury spirits to be found anywhere in duty-free shopping.

Another very lovely company has agreed to support this challenge (an Eco-trek through the mountainous region of Lebanon to benefit local children’s charities).  Have you been to Le Clos?  It’s where you can go to get the finest wines and luxury spirits when you are in Dubai International Airport Terminal 3. If you fancy buying some of their special vintages and spirits, you can view them online, order on the way out and pick them up on your way home.  Sounds good to me.  What sounds even better is their contribution to improve the lives of refugee and orphaned children.   Thank you Le Clos for your generous support of this cause (the name incidently, refers to the sort of enclosed or private vineyard that you get in France, particularly Burgundy – very apt).

Of course, Le Clos stocks some of the best wines from Lebanon including the legendary Chateau Musar 1972.  I was lucky enough to try this vintage at a wine tasting at Cru, Souk al Bahar in Dubai last year and met the equally legendary Serge Hochar of the Musar dynasty.  Cheers!

Personal donations and any broken or unwanted gold (see Gold for Good) items also gratefully received.  P.S. I’m managing to do a 2 hour walk every day, except for this morning; my dogs refused, point blank, to go out in the rain! I’m starting to wonder if they are really Border Terriers or Chihuahuas in disguise.

شكرا لك merci, thank you

Appreciation in the main languages that are spoken in Lebanon (every Lebanese person I have ever met speaks all three).  Another generous sponsor has donated to this challenge which will benefit refugee and orphaned children.  You may not be familiar with Emirates Leisure Retail but you will have heard of their brands particularly if you live in the United Arab Emirates.   They operate international brands such as Costa and  the Noodle House and have plenty of home grown brands too, including Left Bank, Apres, Hey Pesto and Good to Go to name a few.  I’ve also received a voucher for dinner for two at Left Bank (the one at the Madinat is my personal favourite) which I’ll be using to help raise more funds.

Huge thanks to Emirates Leisure Retail for making a great contribution to the amount raised for this charity eco-trek in Lebanon, which will directly improve the lives of some very needy children there.  It’s great to hear some positive news about companies in Dubai isn’t it?
