First Batch
If there’s a baker’s dozen, this is my dozen: 12 of my favorite people, food, places, and things. Everyone and everything on this list is “R”pproved, and there’s no particular order to this list. Enjoy!
Meandro Red Wine
1. Meandro Red Wine
It went perfectly with the steak we cooked in class. Everyone loved it! It has floral and red fruit aromas. This wine fills the mouth win intense notes of raspberry, red cherry, and red currant, and shows a long, fresh, and complex finish. For inquiries on how to get a bottle or a case of Meandro, call Brankinho Trading at +63-917-576-8040.
2. Hydro 2.0 Bottle
I love this bottle. I drink water from this every day now. It puts me to sleep and gives me sweet dreams. To get one for yourself, visit any Belo Medical Center.

Excellent flavors, tastes closest to the fruit. It’s my son Diego’s and my favorite candy.

My all-time favorite flavor is lychee!
