Typhoon Pedring\u2019s torrential downpour didn\u2019t deter us from attending wine diva Tita Trillo\u2019s impressive sit \u2013down dinner held recently at the Paparazzi, Edsa Shangri-la hotel.\u00a0 Presented by Titania in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the event was a grand success with the pairing off of high-end wines with superb food. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the E\u2019s Bar the invitees sipped Camelot Chardonnay and Merlot with the scrumptious hors d\u2019oeuvres. Concocted by the famous wine master Melissa Bates of the Camelot vineyards, this wine blends old world artisan wine-making techniques with state of the art technology. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dinner started off with Hudson Valley Duck Salad with a honey citrus vinaigrette, marinated beets, haricot verts, toasted hazelnut and pears.\u00a0 This was paired with a Camelot Sauvignon Blanc 2007.\u00a0 This wine is fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve its crisp fruit character.\u00a0 Next came the pan seared Pacific Black Cod with a chowder sauce topped with poached clams and leeks. This was perfectly matched with the award-winning Vintgner\u2019s Reserve Chardonnay from Kendall-Jackson.\u00a0 Made from estate grown chardonnay grapes, this is the number one selling chardonnay in the U.S. The piece de resistance<\/em> of the evening was the roasted USDA beef tenderloin with potato foie gras custard, forest mushrooms and a herbaceous teriyaki jus.\u00a0 An outstanding 2008 Kendall-Jackson Vintner\u2019s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, by world renowned wine master Randy Ullom, complemented the dish.\u00a0 This wine is aged for 15 months in French oak barrels that soften the tannins, deepens the color, making the wine rich and luxurious. Everyone left in a state of bliss. <\/strong><\/p>\n
