I do enjoy a fine cocktail hour. I was happy to have the
chance to educate myself on fine wines as well as spirits both newly introduced
and existing products. I toured around with Tammy for a while which was fun as
always and she has a vast knowledge of so many of the products which made it interesting
too. Then some of my other friends met up with me later- Steve and Kathy, Scal
and Kristie and Andrea and I was able to introduce them to others at the show I
knew. We walked around- tasting products and mingling. We stopped to eat for a
while and watched a bit of the Iron Chef competition and then went back to
tasting. We picked the brains of some of the reps which was very interesting as
well.
I made notes and took pictures of some of the products I
will be adding to our home bar. But, I must admit the most unexpected top
favorite of the night was the Forbidden Secret Pumpkin Spice Cream that is a
seasonal release for the fall and in my opinion would make a killer fall
mudslide. They also make a white chocolate cream that was amazing! The McAdams
Caramel Whisky was unexpectedly wonderful being that I am not a real whiskey
drinker. RonDiaz Spiced Black Cherry tasted exactly like Cherry Coke and was
smooth even just straight, which would be a great drink to have at a party with
a bowl of cherries next to it for garnish and decoration. Kinky Flame is
totally a favorite of mine (which I already had at home ) lol.
Anyhow, there were so many wines that I fell in love with
tonight too but there are far too many to say. I will say I was surprised to
have enjoyed Risata Moscato d’Asti because I don’t care for Moscato usually.
But chilled nicely, it is quite refreshing, not too sweet and would make an
awesome summer sip. I enjoyed learning about so many different wine regions and
the how’s and why’s of the depth, color and potency of my beloved red wines as
well. All together….tonight was just a great night and fabulous intention.
