maltatoday | SUNDAY • 10 NOVEMBER 2019 21 COMMERCIAL 2019 marks the 100th Anniversary since Marsovin planted its first seeds in the winemaking sector in Malta. To commemorate this milestone, Marso- vin has organised a series of events throughout the year leading to its grand finale to be held on the 2nd and 3rd December at the de Mondion restaurant in Mdina. For this special occasion Marsovin has invited the two Michelin-starred Chef Emanuele Scarello from Ristorante Agli Amici, to prepare a six-course dinner in collaboration with the acclaimed Chef de Cuisine Kevin Bonello. Ristorante Agli Amici, situated in Udine, was established by Chef Emanuele Scarello's family in 1887, and its renowned success is attributed to hard work, relentless commitment and immense pas- sion. Chef Emanuele Scarello and his restaurant Agli Amici were awarded the first "star" in the year 2000 and the second one in 2013. It is the only res- taurant in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia to be awarded the two "stars" by Michelin Guide, includ- ed in the Michelin's Le Soste, and also recognised with three "hats" on Le Guida de L'Espresso. Ac- cording to Il Corriere della Sera in 2013 Emanuele Scarello was referred to as the best Italian chef. Agli Amici is the first and only Relais & Chateaux in Friuli Venezia Giulia, and it is only natural that The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux lends itself per- fectly to this event, a 5-Star Boutique Hotel nestled within the Mdina centuries old bastions, with de Mondion Restaurant being the jewel in the crown. The evening will begin in the Xara Palace Atrium where upon arrival, guests will be greeted with Marsovin's Cassar de Malte Methode Traditionelle sparkling wine, served from 1.5L Magnum bottles. Following this, guests will be served six culinary creations exceptionally paired with Marsovin's pre- mium and boutique wines, including the limited edition 100th Anniversary wine which, on this spe- cial occasion, will be served from a 5L bottle. Booking is open and is exclusively on a first come first served basis. This exclusive event will be at the price of Eur150 per person.

The Happy Meal global footprint has expanded to more than 38,000 restaurants in more than 100 coun- tries around the globe —with the iconic toy still a beloved staple— serving as a symbol of surprise, play- fulness and fun. "Parents tell us how fondly they recall their favorite toys," said Colin Mitchell, McDonald's Senior Vice President, Global Marketing. "So, unboxing the Surprise Happy Meal together creates a real moment of bonding with their children. We hope these toys are something that they will treasure and remember." In addition to creating fun mo- ments, the Happy Meal is well-loved for providing delicious favorites like Chicken McNuggets and ham- burgers. Over the years, many new, balanced choices have been added to the Happy Meal so parents can feel good about the options they're feeding their families. Globally, Mc- Donald's has served more than 6.4 billion fruit, vegetable, low-fat dairy and water options in Happy Meals since 2013, and its commitment has evolved to the global Happy Meal goals announced in 2018. Through this global Surprise Happy Meal event, fans of all ages are invited to join in the fun and discover what old or new favourite awaits them.
