"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye." - Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Political, social and financial giants filled up the exquisitely dressed Red of the Makati Shangri-La recently to take part in an exclusive dinner hosted by Hennessy, the worldwide leader of cognacs, when international training and promotion manager Jean-Michel Cochet engaged in lively discussion about the heritage and new age appreciation of Hennessy cognacs. So he could attend the exclusive event, Jean was flown in from France by Moet Hennessy Asia Pacific chief representative, the alluring Olga Azarcon along with business development manager, the dashing Randy Uson. The dinner called for a double celebration of finest cognac collections paired with exquisitely prepared entreés by master chefs. Dear friend Andy Bautista, who has recently taken over the reigns of the vast Kuok properties in the country, and stunningly beautiful wife Tisha were great additions to the guest list.
Thanks to Hennessy, as more and more people are becoming cognac converts!
