An enduring wine tradition

Philippine wine marketing industry pioneer, Don Antonio Trillo Sr., started in 1945 what is to become the Trillo Wines Corp., the leading distributor of wines in the Philippine Duty Free Markets with over 50 percent market share of wine sales.

The company makes another milestone with the establishment of Trivento and Gran Trillo Argentine Wines in the domestic market. Today, at a youthful 93 years of age, Don Antonio is given a fitting tribute by his family with a Proprietary brand of Gran Trillo conceived and perfected with an Argentine Malbec Varietal Blend. This was definitely a cause for celebration for the Trillo family, led by Trillo Wines Corp. president Anthony Trillo.

With the company’s leadership, we can be sure to have quality wines on our dining table each day.

Keep it up!

Resty’s retro day

Nothing beats celebrating one’s birthday with one’s close friends. For society chronicler Resty Vergara, birthdays are for rekindling old ties and celebrating the gift of life and friendship.

The swingin’ party was held at Nene Leonor’s well-manicured garden where interior designer Cocoy Cordoba spruced up the surroundings in the spirit of the ’60s, complete with colorful pennants, candles and metallic potpourri.

Guests were Fe Rodriguez, Letty Bonoan, Karen Macasaet, Tereret Liboro, Fe Ng and Consuls Mellie Ablaza, Evie Costa and Fortune Ledesma.

Everyone just had a blast, with dance exhibitions, music by Arthur Manuntag and renditions by fast-rising singer Faith Cuneta.

Resty’s day was undoubtedly full of happy surprises!

A fun run

Dusit Hotel Nikko recently conducted a "Fun Run" to promote camaraderie among its employees. The participants ran 2.5 kilometers along Pasay Road and Ayala Avenue. The winners in both men’s and women’s categories took home medals and cash prizes, much to their delight.

The hotel’s general manager Ikuo Itoi was present to award the winners as he cheerfully mingled with the rest of the employees.

Keep on motivating your employees, Itoi-san!

Farewell to friends

The pleasant and radiant beauty Carol Garcia rendered a despedida for the charming Madrid-based Mari Borao and the very regal Nene Quimson, also known as "Lady Q." Carol’s exquisitely-furnished residence at The Fort was the venue for this wonderful get-together of close friends.

Many congratulations to Carol for being such a terrific host. To Nene and Mari, we’ll be waiting for your return!
