The Godfather knows his coffee...

Al Pacino just recently renounced his lifelong ban on endorsement deals and admitted to his love affair with none other than our very own gourmet coffee - Vittoria. It's now being served at Wine Depot Stores in Alabang Westgate Corporate Center, Reposo and Greenhills:)

He says in a very Pacino way, "there are two things I know about. I'm confident to say one is coffee. the other... I forget."

Here, he's photographed with director Barry Levinson, as they filmed New York for the much-awaited, unscripted TV commercial of the Italian style coffee from Australia.

Winery of the Year Highlight Dinner

Here's to celebrating the 15-time winner of the prestigious Winery of the Year Award of Wine & Spirits Magazine, Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery of Washington State, USA. With its Riesling dominating the market as the number one selling Riesling in the world, plus it's Cabernet Sauvignon making it to the top 100 list of Wine Spectator, there was much to eat and drink to!

 the pairings.. Pomelo smoked salmon, fried cheese caviar and lime zest salad with passion fruit dressing paired with the top selling Riesling

 The meaty flavor of the Iberian pork topped with cherry plum and pronto e fresco salsa goes well with the Canoe Ridge Merlot

chicken breast and caramelized onions on a bed of wild mushroom, truffle oil risotto. Its creaminess lends itself well to the 06 Merlot

Wagyu beef crusted sobresada served with smoked caramelized black cherry and reduced cabernet sauvignon sauce. With each bite, we put a little of the coffee jelly siding on the meat for the most mouthwatering taste.

of course, the Cabernet Sauvignon  07 was the ideal pairing.
