Magenta-colored inauguration - T-Mobile in Poland

On June 13, the Kubicki Arcades at the Royal Palace in Warsaw was the venue of the gala celebrating the entering of the international digital phone brand T-Mobile onto the Polish market. The event was attended by many prominent guests, such as Łukasz i Jan Nowicki, Halina Mlynkova, Małgorzata Potocka-Nowicka, Dorota Warakomska, Henryka Bochniarz, Michał Ogórek, Włodzimierz Zientarski, Michał Olszański, Anja Orthodox, Urszula Dudziak, Cezary Harasimowicz, Damian Aleksander, Robert Moskwa, Karolina Nowakowska, Katarzyna Skrzynecka, Katarzyna Klich and many others.

The outfits that the ladies chose to wear for the event were very varied, but magenta definitely reigned throughout the evening.

T-Mobile's network operator in Poland is Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa Sp z o.o. (PTC), founded in 1995.
In 1996, PTC began commercial operations under the Era GSM brand. With the introduction of this international brand to Poland, which in June replaced the existing Era brand, PTC customers joined the family of nearly 128 million customers worldwide who use the services of T-Mobile.
Good vibrations during the evening were provided by two great singers - Ewa Farna and Tatiana Okupnik, who sang their latest hits. The ceremony was moderated by Agnieszka Popielewicz and Maciej Dowbor.
The exquisite menu for the occasion was prepared by Belvedere Catering by Design.

Verva Streat Racing

On June 18, almost 85,000 fans of the motor sport watched the struggles of the best drivers on the street circuit, built around the Teatralny square. As many as 110 vehicles from the leading racing and rally series were gathered in one place. They included Porsche Supercup, Formula 3, Formula 1, NASCAR, GT3, Le Mans and cars taking part in off-road rallies and flat track races.

The races were opened by a performance of FMX riders (Freestyle Motocross), stretching the laws of gravity. Shortly afterwards, ultra-fast and unimaginably expensive super sports car paraded on the track. An interesting development was the Formula 3 cars race with a real Pit Stop, in which Polish celebrities took part. Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay also competed in the race, in his exceptional Porsche 914/6GT from 1970.

Other stars showed off the power of their machines - Krzysztof Hołowczyc and Stephane Peterhansel as well as motorcyclists Kuba Przygoński, Marek Dąbrowski, Helder Rodrigues, Ruben Faria and Marc Coma as well as Cyril Despres.

Belvedere Catering by Design had the pleasure to serve the over 1,300 VIP guests, who had the opportunity to watch the races from the terraces of the Grand Theater.

Sommelier recommends

Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir

New Zealand, thanks to its unique climate, cool and marine, as well as due to the soil coming from the gravely riverbeds, has ideal conditions for the production of wine of the best varieties.
The leader among the red varieties is undoubtedly the Pinot Noir, outclassing the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The most prized wines from this grape variety can be found in Martinborough, Marlborough, Canterbury, Nelson and Otawo. A wine produced from this variety, which I would like to recommend to you, is Cloudy Bay – it is thanks to this brand that New Zealand found itself on the world's wine map.

Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2008 is characterized by an intense aroma of plums and strawberries, combined with a herby aroma. Thanks to this combination, you can talk about its exceptional nature. When tasted, this is perfectly balanced with vibrant acidity, which is reminiscent of red fruits. Subtle tannins remind us about the maturing process of the wine in oak barrels, which confirms several years of aging potential
