Beaujolais Wine Dinner At The Sofitel

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!

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!
