This past Thursday night, Jully and I got to attend the Wine Enthusiast’s ‘Toast of the Town’ annual gala. We arrived at 7pm at the Oscar Hammerstein Ballroom and were greeted by many food and wine enthusiasts like ourselves, thrilled to be at the event.

There were SO many people!!
The gala welcomed over 500 wines, spirits and beers for the tasting. In addition, there were 35 of New York City’s best restaurants preparing food for us. While at first it was a bit daunting and crowded, we quickly found our rhythm amongst the many guests.
We ate, drank and chatted with loads of wonderful people while listening to fantastic music from the Jonny Hirsch Band.


Penne with Peas and Prosciutto.


Tequila Shrimp Ceviche with Plantain Chips.

Meatballs.

Lasagna Bolognese with Bechamel and Mozzarella.

Cappuccino shooters.
And of course, we drank wine.
So. Much. Wine.
All. Sorts. Of. Wine.
We tasted wines from all over the world and chatted with folks who helped create them.


Mike DeSimone & Jeff Jenssen, the authors of the Fire Island Cookbook and Wines of the Southern Hemisphere!

Jully and Rob from The Wine Sisterhood!

Taking a little break form walking around :)

Jully and I had a fantastic time (she declared it, the best event I’ve taken her to so far hahahaha!). We are both so grateful to Ingrid at Zonin USA for inviting us to attend.

Hope you are having a great week. Thanks for stopping by the blog!
Hasta luego,
