For the second year, the Sofitel Philippine Plaza and Le Cellier hosted a special Beaujolais Wine Dinner for special guests and was also graced by Monsieur Yves-Dominique Ferraud of P. Ferraud & Fils. The wine dinner was held a few days after the annual worldwide Beaujolais Nouveau celebration.
Fresh from his Vietnam trip where Monsieur Ferraud also attended a Beaujolais Wine Event, he was happy to note that there's a steady growth of wine enthusiasts in the Philippine market.
Monsieur Ferraud is a 5th generation winemaker from the Beaujolais Region of France. Being one of the last few family companies in the wine business, he hoped to continue the legacy for more generations to come. P. Ferraud & Fils wines includes- Beaujolais Villages, Fleurie, Moulin A Vent, Brouilly, Macon Villages, St. Veran, Pouilly Fuisse, and many more.
With some of the best wines from the 200 year old cellar of Monsieur Ferraud in France, combined with the great food that Spiral is known for, guests were treated to a fantastic dinner. Of course, one must not forget that Sofitel Philippine Plaza is the only 5-star hotel in the country with its very own cheese room.
Cheers to Monsieur Ferraud and P. Ferraud & Fils!

This looks like a really elegant event! I think it's true that there are more and more win enthusiasts in the country.
ReplyDeleteYes. Most restaurants now have their own wine list even if its just red or white. :)
DeleteI drink wines on occasions. It would be such a treat for wine lovers if Spiral buffet comes with overflowing wines :)
ReplyDeleteLooks really fancy :) I drink wine on special occasions but never really understood it :))
ReplyDeletea lot of pinoys are now becoming wine enthusiasts.. which is good considering that wine has health benefits compared to the regular beers
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I don't appreciate wine, may after taste siya lagi na hindi ko type. :)
ReplyDeletethe after taste must be the "taninns" ... i've tasted some wines though that doesn't have a hint of it. i don't like that taste also :)
DeleteI'm not a wine drinker. I've tried but I never really got the hang of it. Nice event though. I'm sure wine enthusiasts had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI love wine but only get to drink some during super special occasions. Would love to have mine own stock at home though. :)
ReplyDeleteMe also, I am not a wine drinker kasi nahihilo agad ako sa lasa. Pero it's good to know na there's a steady growth of wine enthusiasts in the market. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Sofitel, but it's definitely in my bucket list. I hope we'll have a chance to visit this 5-star hotel in the coming days.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like wine, but a dinner at Spiral is definitely amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a drinker so I can't relate much to this post but I have always wanted to visit Sofitel!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I drinks red wine. I am curious about the taste of Le Cellier French Wine Selection. :)
ReplyDeleteAng sosyal ng event! I'm not a drinker eh pero I appreciate half a glass of wine from time to time paired with different kinds of cheese and grapes.. oo half glass lang or else, lasing ako!
