Distinguished guests attended this black-tie dinner to give smiles to Bantay Bata’s street children and victims of child abuse. A parade of palate-pleasing dishes – foie gras, wild mushrooms, coral trout, pan-roasted lamb and Vahlrona chocolate – were served with an impeccable wine selection generously provided by Tita Trillo, the Wine Queen of Anthony’s Wines and Spirits.
Best-loved wines such as Sauternes 1997, Mouton Cadet Blanc 2000 and Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 1998 were in ample supply for the guests to appreciate. Acclaimed wines such as Chateau Mouton Rothschild ler Cru Classe 1989, Chateau Armaillhac 5 eme cru Classe 1996 and Chateau Coutet 1997 underscored the importance of the affair.
A highlight of the exceptional charity dinner was the auction of Grand Crus wines generously donated by Baron Philippe de Rothschild.
Headlining the A-list dinner-for-a-cause were Anthony’s Wines and Spirit’s president, the ever glowing Tita Trillo; debonair wine connoisseur Thierry de Tourniel, GM of Baron Philippe de Rothschild Orient; the radiant ABS-CBN Foundation managing director Gina Lopez; the elegant Marie Carmen de Elizalde; bubbly French Ambassador Renee Veyret; and the lovely Miss Mouton Cadet 2003, Jenny Santi. To Anthony’s Wines and Rothschild, we toast to your goodwill and open handedness!
Happy holidays!
