Blind Pairing at Discovery Suites

Last September 27, 2019 22 Prime in partnership with Happy Living launched its first ever experiential dinner event called Blind Pairing. Staying true to its name, much of the pairing concept could be attributed to in-house sommelier, Giolo Racelis’ experience.

“Blind Pairing is based on the idea of Blind Tasting which is usually done in the form of a competition or as an exam for sommeliers. They would give us glasses of wine without labels and we had to rely solely on our palate to distinguish and characterize them. Seeing how much I enjoyed the mystery behind this exercise, I wanted to create our own version in 22 Prime which I think would be a great experience for our guests.” he says.

Guests had an enjoyable and highly informative experience. They were greatly intrigued by this innovative dinner concept as they were able to discover new flavors as well as their own taste profile. Apart from the new experience, guests also mentioned that the 4-course menu paired with 6 different wines definitely stole the show.  For those who weren’t able to join us in unveiling the mystery behind Blind pairing, here’s are some photos to tickle your appetite:

  • COZY AND HOMEY. This was our 6th or 7th stay and the staff is still very accommodating. The location is strategic being right beside convenience stores, mall, and restaurants… I can say we plan to make it a habit to greet the new year here.”

  • OUTSTANDING AND FRIENDLY SERVICE. The service at the facility is outstanding from arrival to departure. Any thing you ask for is done promptly and with a smile. The gym is pretty good with all the requirements of a hotel gym, with sauna, personal trainers and group classes.”

  • COMFORTABLE HOME AWAY FROM HOME. I stayed in the Discovery suites hotel for 7 weeks in March and April while in Manila for work. And it was very easy for me to start calling it home after a few days! The location is great – podium mall across the street, Starbucks next door and across the street, megamall and Robinson’s galleria only a couple of blocks away.”
