As guests enjoyed champagne and sampled hors d’oeuvres, the mood was very serene and the night was spent with guests finding and interacting with new associates from different spheres. A number of guests also won and walked away with Moet & Chandon bottles through a raffle that was played at the event every 30 minutes. According to Anthony Bud, a guest who attended the event, “it is great when such champagne brands become available on the local market. Moet & Chandon has, more than any other drink, the ability to fill its consumer with pleasure through the senses of sight, smell, and taste like no other drink. The bottles are always beautiful and the drink sparkles. From the moment the waitress pours it into your glass to the time its aroma gets into your system and caresses your tongue, the champagne’s flavor lingers on,” said Bud.
