A few weeks ago, Gretchen invited Andrea and me to the Shoreline Wine Festival in Guilford that she and Justin were going to... there was a Groupon ending that night good for two people. I was excited because I hadn't seen Gretchen since my birthday, and because I'd never been to a wine festival. Earlier this year, Andrea and her boyfriend, Monto, went to a wine festival at the casino and had a blast; I received a dozen indecipherable text and picture messages that night. Andrea was in Puerto Rico when Gretchen sent the invite, so I text and called her and Monto to see if they wanted me to get them tickets. Since I couldn't get in touch with them, I assumed that they would go, and bought two sets of tickets.
So, yesterday, I went to my first wine festival! There were 7 different vineyards there from Connecticut... none of which were vineyards I'd visited before. Each vineyard gave samples of 4-5 of their wines, so I was a pretty happy girl. During the wine festival, we also go to sample foods from local places: marinaras, olive oils, and hot sauces... all of which were delicious. After our group of 7 separated, Cole and I stuck around for a tour of Bishop's Orchards and were the only ones in the tour group. It was definitely a fun day, and I look forward to going to more of these wine festivals in the future!
