Tye Yee Nen
|
| Tye’s
career in wines began as the Cellar Master
of Raffles Hotel. It was a very intensive
responsibility due to the extensive selection
of wines the hotel had and the wine programme
they maintained. His appointment saw him
organising many wine events in the heydays
of the wine industry. The most memorable
event for Tye at the Raffles Hotel was
The Grand Cuisine of the Far East, Raffles
1st Wine and Food Experience, which featured
visiting vintners like Chateaux Margaux,
Chateaux Petrus, Domaine de La Romanee
Conti, Penfold’s Grange and many
more. After spending six years at Raffles,
he moved to another very well-known establishment
with an award wining wine programme-Les
Amis. Their expensive selection gave him
another opportunity to experience many
wine events as well as meet winemakers.
During his time spent in both Raffles
and Les Amis, he had visited wine countries
like Germany, Australia and France in
the regions of Bordeaux, Loire, Champagne,
Burgundy, Alsace and was undergoing short
stint as a sommelier in Hotel
The Crillon, Paris and Restaurant Le Centenaire.
