Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival
It has been a whirlwind of a trip, first San Francisco, then Sausalito and next a stop in one of the most beautiful coastal regions of America - Pebble Beach! I was one of the very lucky ones to receive complimentary passes from Foodbuzz to attend the Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival Grand Tasting, a grandiose hedonistic affair bringing together some of the top chefs of the bay area with some of the best wineries of California. Even with the torrential rain and relentless gusty winds over the weekend, foodie extraordinaire Sherry Page from Culinary Getaways and I made the trek to Pebble Beach to experience all of the incredible food and wines. It's tough to capture extravagance of food and wines that were showcased, but I here are a few that were most memorable to me.
WINE SPECTATOR GRAND TASTING New York City
Expectations ran high leading up to this event. We had been salivating, plotting and mapping out what we would do when the doors finally opened to Wine Spectator's Grand Tasting. And when it did open, I almost heard angelic music playing in the back of my head as my eyes woke to the heavenly rows of legendary wine producers offering a pour of their ethereal liquid.
PLAN OF ATTACK!
I'm dedicating most of my time today and tomorrow to devising a plan of attack for Friday evening's big event. Eating a high fat, high protein diet of dried nuts, cheeses, and cured meats, drinking plenty of fluids to stay well-hydrated and making sure I have plenty of rest so that I can hit the ground running. What event am I training for? He-he-he. Wine Spectator's Grand Tasting in New York. I'll be like a kid in the candy store! Yippee!
