Our first ever Wine Walk and our sister Corrie was recovering from appendix surgery. It wasn't the same without her and we know she would have loved it!
We muddled through without her and officially completed our first one - with much success! We poured a Cabernet, a Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, supplied by Cafe Allegro - none of which we got to drink.
Sarah was a pro at wrapping a wood rose around each glass stem, announcing to Laurie what wine each taster would like to try.
Wish we had a dollar for every time a taster said..."Come on, you can pour above the line!" Laurie invented a new wine - "Carbonet" - that's what happens when you're tired, hot and you ask if they want Chardonnay or Cabernet...you get Carbonet!...it was hilarious at the time...
Food sampling was a hit thanks to Bardot, the restaurant soon to open next door to us. I'm surprised you don't see my husband sneaking back and forth in line to mooch more beef...
Braised beef ribs (not pictured), horseradish mashed potatoes, and a smoked salmon roll...num-num! It this was a sampling of how amazing Chef Alain can cook, then Bardot has nothing to worry about because it was de-lic-ious!!
Shoppers & tasters...which we found out go really well together...drink wine...spend money...drink more wine...spend more money...
Our bouncer...he looks tough, doesn't he?
We had a great time & our tasters seemed to have a great time. I think we'll do it all again next year! Let's hope it isn't 104 degrees, tho!
Until next time,
~M & L
