It's been five years since I've classed it up at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. The event has ballooned into a huge success with tickets becoming more and more elusive every year since its inception some seven years ago. Aside from the Grand Tasting Tent which is actually on the sand of south beach both saturday and sunday, there are several other wine and culinary events, seminars, demonstrations, and tastings all over Miami over the course of four days.
Tonight's event is the Wine Spectator "Best of the Best" tasting at the suites of the American Airlines Arena in Miami. My fiance and I were lucky enough to get tickets and I can't wait to test my palate on what should be the cream of the crop reserve and estate selections of the show. I'm prepared to push and shove my way through well dressed wine snobs and their trophy wives to get samples but I just don't know where I'm going to spit yet.
Good for you! I missed Premiere for the Napa Valley Grape Growers fund raiser last night! They raised 2.2 million for folks that don't need it! Anyway, sounds like fun spit on the sand!
