Cincinnati Food + Wine Classic

When my good friend and former roommate from the "old days" invited me to the Cincinnati Food + Wine Classic this past Friday, I said sign me up!! I could not say no to spending a fun night out with Holly or to wine. It was a no brainer even after a long week of working and a full weekend ahead of me. Oh and did I mention these were VIP tickets?! Holly is the bomb diggity!! This 3 day event was held at Yeatman's Cove along the beautiful waterfront of Cincinnati.  They could not have picked a more picturesque location. The Classic featured chefs, wine merchants, brewers, artisans and more! On Friday when we went there was a live grilling party, wine, beer, and beverage pavilion , and a dessert pavilion to satisfy our sweet tooth. We walked up and down the waterfront tasting some of our favorite local eats. The front runner hands down was the shrimp and waffles from the Taste of Belgium (we are already planning brunch soon so we can have more!) But let's talk about the VIP treatment! Once we got there we received a swag bag ( felt like I was at an award's show) and access to the beautiful VIP lounge. I want my living room to look like this lounge. It was gorgeous with white couches and chandliers. The lounge featured some delicious drinks served by popular mixologists. I think this was my favorite part. Holly and I were able to sit back,  relax while sipping on some cocktails, and talk about the "old times" when we first became friends. If you have the chance to check out this event next year, do it!!

Thanks friend for a great night!
