Marketing
and Distribution’s (M&D) “Discover”
event on October 5, 2013 was an absolute pleasure for www.trinidadweddings.com to cover.
It
was a night of wine and premium liquor tastings, fine cheeses and appetizers
that all culminated in quite a swanky soiree.
The objective of Discover was set to be more than a gathering of the nation’s taste-makers but also to provide an event for true connoisseurs to socialize and sample luxurious libations in an elegant environment

True to expectation, The Oval’s Century Ballroom was filled with a smartly-dressed crowd who savoured M&D’s display of its entire Wine and Spirits Portfolio.
Yes,
that’s over 100 brands; such as Perrier-Jouët
Belle Epoque and Mumm Champagne, Absolut vodka, Ballantine’s 30 year-old Scotch,
Jose Cuervo Res de la familia Cakebread (winner of the Readers' Choice Award
for Best US wine), Louis Jadot Gevrey Chambertin, Cascine Prosecco and Fonseca
20 year-old Port to name a few.
There
were also unique execution stations such as the Absolut Vodka Martini Makers
Bar, Alize Cocktail Bar, Jose Cuervo shots as well as a Bubbly station.
One of my favourite cocktails is the Tom Collins. So a stand-out moment was when bartender Clinton made one for me on-the-spot with Beefeater 24 Gin. One of the best Tom Collins ever!

Tasty hors d’oeuvres such as scrambled eggs with caviar served on spoons, spinach filo pastries, samosas, shrimp and pineapple on skewers and chicken sliders were had by all in attendance. Of note was Jaffa’s authentic Indian buffet, featuring naan, mushroom pakoras and butter chicken accompanied by a selection of Patak chutneys and sauces.
Guests
were given champagne flutes as tokens and treated to a rocking after-party with
DJ Nuphoric, as the event drew to a close.
Trinidadweddings.com’s
relationship with M&D began when they were an elite sponsor for our event, The Wedding Convention in September 2013; and we certainly look forward to more
fabulous events from M&D.
