Grand
Tasting, Wines Of World
Story
and Photos by Mary Buttaro
In
the late afternoon guests gathered at Sunset Beach's
Monestario Ballroom to sample the delectable wines
from many regions of the world
There
were countless wines to be tasted. I sampled wines
from South Africa, Chile, Mexico, France and the
USA. How many wines could one person engage with?
Wine
purveyors who shared intriguing information about
their wines with interested participants encouraged
sampling of wines and questions about the wines.
Small
bites paired to the wines, from LaFrida's kitchen,
kept appetites assuaged and provided respite from
the potpourri of wines available for tasting.
Meanwhile,
in the adjacent courtyard, a charming fashion show
of traditional clothing from Mexico's Chiapas region
was taking place. Live music accompanied revered
chanteuse Luna Itzel, who regularly enchants LaFrida
Restaurant patrons. She entertained us with
several sets. On display and for purchase were Chiapan,
one of a kind, hand woven, hand made clothing, and
accessories.
Wine
tasting participants moved easily between the wine,
the food and the outside event. The day ended softly
as people drifted toward other activities.
My
photo of wine glass left behind on he terrace railing
is reflecting the early evening light and is my
visual memory of those last moments of the event.
The Festival would continue for another day, but
with regret, this would be my last day.
