Two nights of superb wines

WINE connoisseurs in the island got a special treat as Pacific Trading Company, Ltd. allowed guests to have a taste of its special wines for two nights in a row.

Friday night brought together a merry mix of party goers at the “Discover at Palms Resort Saipan” event—a night where all cares were left at the door and guests partook of free-flowing fine wine from the hotel’s menu.

Taking center stage was Peroni Italy, the world’s number one premium Italian beer which was introduced to the guests.

Chefs had their hands full as everyone indulged in a variety of Italian inspired hors d’oeuvres to choose from. A contemporary fashion show presented by Events Unlimited and Pena House featuring the island’s sexy and dynamic models highlighted the event. Lucky winners brought home attractive prizes from the sponsors including cellular phones from Docomo Pacific and bottles of wine.

On Thursday evening, selected guests gathered at the Lobby Lounge of the Hyatt Regency Saipan to have a sip of the truth from fine Kendall-Jackson Wines.

Jessica Ann Rosario, Mid-Pacific Distributors, Inc. sales and marketing manager introduced the night’s wine tasting including the 2006 Kendall –Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay.

“This is Kendall-Jackson’s flagship wine, a richly layered and balanced wine which glides down your throat while you savor the tropical flavors,” Rosario said.

Also introduced were the 2005 Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Merlot and 2005 Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

All three wines got above 85 points in rating which shows its excellence. Hyatt Regency Saipan prepared excellent appetizers to go with the wines.

Guests couldn’t just have their fill of fine wine—even after two consecutive nights!
