During the Wine Bloggers Conference on Friday night, there’s a thing called “Mystery Excursions.” You get a random, color ticket from the conference registration desk and at 5:15pm meet in the hotel lobby. The cool thing is you don’t know where you are going! Once the groups were gathered by ticket color, we were loaded …
After the wine class at Maxwell DC, we went to dinner at Tiger Fork. Finally!! The fried, crispy Chili Tofu with crab was the perfect starter. The cocktail was an Old Fashioned but not your usual OF — it was made with Baijiu (a white liquor made with sorghum, wheat, rice, sticky rice and corn) …
What do you do when you have a long layover in Seattle while on your way to the Wine Bloggers Conference in Walla Walla? Well, you rent a car, eat a snack at Von’s 1000Spirits, go wine tasting at SODO Urbanworks (Washington State Wine) then make your way to JuneBaby. You may be asking yourself, …

Drool worthy! We also decided to try the Cold Brew Old Fashioned with Bulleit (so good!). It was a tad pricey for brunch but …
How did I forget to post the fabulous meal from San Lorenzo?!? Shame on me. The refreshing Aperol Spritz, the tender and moist Branzino with potato, tomato and olives and the TRUFFLE Parmesan Corn. Ya’ll truffle and cheese in the corn (OmG!!). I wasn’t sure if I was going to be brave enough to taste …
