Cheese, wine & pearls
“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.” — Norman Vincent Peale
Soirée Beaujolais 25th Year Anniversary: Food & Wine Festival was indeed a gastronomical affair that showcased varied cheeses, delicatessen and wine all flown in from France.
Hosted by the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines, the event was graced by French Ambassador Thierry Mathou and wife Cecille along with French Chamber of Commerce president Christophe Riout and its members.
Also present at the event were founder Jacques Branellec and his son Jacques Christophe Branellec executive vice president of Jewelmer Joaillerie, the internationally renowned brand that brings together the best of French and Filipino cultures, as one of the major sponsors.
Seen enjoying the event were the bubbly Philippines’ Best Dressed Sheree Chua with some of her friends, Jewelmer executive marketing manager Tricie Legarda and Mia Arcenas, designer par excellence from Cebu who added glamour and elegance to the well-attended event.
Congratulations, Soiree Beaujolais and to all the sponsors, especially Jewelmer!
