The Bellevue Wine Society
 

The Bellevue Manila, the premier business hotel south of the Metro, recently launched its wine society in grand fashion at its magnificent and breathtaking Grand Ballroom. The launch proved to be an auspicious one as Manila’s A-listers flocked to the hotel to sample the fine Chilean wines brought by guest of honor and wine connoisseur Tita Trillo. The brilliant minds behind Bellevue General Manager Patrick Chan and Marketing and Communications Director Ryan Chan made sure everyone enjoyed themselves with the venue’s exquisite ambience, delectable canapés and varied cheeses. The Bellevue Wine Society is fast becoming the group of choice in wine circles, with regular wine tasting scheduled each month coupled with bonuses and incentives towards wine purchases and corkage fees in the hotel. Congratulations on the successful launch!

It was an evening of fine spirits and sumptuous cocktails as Moet Hennessy recently created an intimate gathering of cognac connoisseurs at The Continental in Tower Club. Moet Hennessy Business Development Manager Randy Uson and Chief Representative Olga Azarcon started the joyous occasion by tweaking boundaries, introducing Hennessy Shanghai cocktails and new innovations of the Hennessy X.O were likewise unveiled. Starting off with the new look of the Hennessy X.O with its darker and bolder appearance. The unique and sophisticated aroma of the 30 year old cognac delighted the carefully selected guests of the evening: Robina Gokongwei Pe, Susie and Paqui Ortigas, and Marivic Madrigal Vasquez, who won the first Hennessy XO Magnificence in the Philippines. Towards the end of the night, the exquisite Hennessy Paradis was served with its elegant silky texture and waves upon waves of flavors that totally enchanted the lucky guests. Hennessy is the name that made cognac famous worldwide. Whether you have been a follower of cognac or starting to appreciate its rich and powerful characters, you will never go wrong with a name that withstood eight generations of careful control over the finest cognac collection: Hennessy!
