Well guys, the Winos' are off to Sin City this weekend - Las Vegas, Nevada. Our good friend and fellow wino, Peggy, got the hook-up on a cheap room, so we're off! Of course we can't go on a trip without checking out the potential for a Wino Adventure.
Here are a few wine hot spots in the desert this weekend:
- Vegas Uncork’d by Bon Appétit - This is a four day food extravaganza! Luncheons, dinners, tasting, food, food, food - did I mention food? Of course this is not a cheap affair (the cheapest event still available is $95). Each event is individually priced and many have already sold out. My boyfriend, Chef Tom Colicchio of Top Chef will be there, but his event is already sold out. This event is hosted annually on Mother's Day weekend - maybe next time Winos'.
- Valley Cheese & Wine in Henderson, NV - has free wine tasting every Friday and Saturday from 4-7pm. This specialty food store was founded in 2006 by Bob Howald and Kristin Sande, who hand pick "hard-to-find wines, artisan cheese, charcuterie, specialty dry goods and wine accessories." We might have to check them out!
- Terra Verde at Green Valley Ranch - is an Italian restaurant and on Friday nights they offer all-you-can-drink featured wines from 5-7pm. They also have $20 appetizers during these "happy" hours.
If we make it to any of these we'll let you know. But we will be having a good time and drinking wine wherever we end up!
Thank you for visiting me. Following you back on GFC. I don't really drink wine. I have 4 bottles of decent tawny port sitting on my desk. A couple of them for over a year. I do like pinot noir but you don't want to know what I do to it before I drink it! Who knows...I might learn something here.
