NYC Wine + Food Festival

October 23, 2015 · 1 Comment

Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Friday already? This week has gone by, but it’s been a good week, one I’ve fully taken advantage of. Aside from my father’s birthday present, a concert Sunday evening to see his favorite fado singer, this weekend will be mostly low-key, but last week was exciting when J and I were lucky enough to attend the New York City Wine and Food Festival. We were generously given tickets for the Grand Tasting hosted by J’s job, ShopRite. This event was one of the largest this past Sunday, showcasing a variety of food and drink vendors, restaurants, and two demo kitchens with rotating celebrity chefs. I’ve been wanting to attend the show for a long time now, so I was quite excited to take part in this must-do culinary experience. There were some really delicious wines to be tried, and I even found my new favorite. Here are some shots taken at this year’s NYC festival…

Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Swordfish ceviche cups greeted us as we entered the show, along with a Mezcal Mojito showcasing the delicious flavors of Mexico.  Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Yes, this entire wall was real and so fragrant. It was nestled with greens, peppers, and herbs.  Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Beautiful copper distiller at the Tito’s Vodka booth. I especially loved their Pumpkin Dude cocktail, it’s a perfect one for fall, can’t wait to try the recipe myself. 
Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Plated brought a vintage trailer for their booth, and it was one of my favorites. I love when companies go outside the box of traditional trade show booths to create spaces that truly reflect their brand. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Another favorite booth of mine was Larceny Bourbon’s, those statement light fixtures stood out amongst the rest. Their bourbon was a treat too. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Octopus dishes ready to be eaten. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Wines of Portugal had a booth, naturally we had to stop by. Our favorite was the Casa Passarela from my region in Portugal. 
Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Pretty autumn display at Morrison’s booth, along with their delicious seasonal salad. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival J’s favorite beer is Samuel Adams, so naturally we lounged in their booth for some time, and even came back home with this large stein. Walking the streets of NYC and riding the trains home with this piece was an instant conversation starter. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival My dad and I love Andrew Zimmern and his food travels, of course especially when they are to Portugal, so it was great to see him talking about his favorite cuisines, and  demoing traditional Mexican salsas. He was so great, really one of my favorite chefs. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival I had to watch the original cakes guy, Duff Goldman of Charm City cakes. He was a big influence when I was going to culinary school, and it was great to meet and watch him demonstrate basic cookie recipes. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Rosa Mexicano had an elaborate spread, where they were serving homemade tortillas with varying salsas, and tacos made to order. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival  For all of you Cupcake Wars fans, judge and pastry chef Florian Bellanger was there with his delightful chocolate confections from Mad Mac. They were almost too pretty too eat!Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Hands down the best wine I drank at the show, this has easily become my new favorite white wine. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival Yes, this picture totally happened. J, a huge fan of Entourage, was stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted Debi Mazar and her husband as she was leaving her book signing. We still think we wouldn’t have gotten this shot if it wasn’t for this larger-than-life stein. Tasting NYC: NYC Wine + Food Festival It was a blistering cold day in NYC, especially alongside the Hudson River, but I did manage to take my hands out of my pockets to snap a photo of these beautiful church arches.NYC Wine + Food FestivalThe NYCWFF gives a great goodie bag, I won’t deny that there are a few items missing but seriously the wine glass neck holder was the best.

    […] I had these hibiscus flavored flower sugar crystals on hand from a goodie bag, received at the NY Wine + Food Festival and was excited by the extra floral taste it gave these cocktails. But sugars flavored in a berry […]

Truth, I quite often stop myself from sharing thin Truth, I quite often stop myself from sharing things as frequently because I think oh what for. Yes this image is pretty & it might inspire someone putting together ideas for their wedding or special occasion, but what is it really doing? When it feels like there is immense suffering, people are hurting, the chaos & injustice seems endless; the empath in me thinks what can my pretty thing possibly be doing to bring some worth to others -- but I have been reminded recently, then again this morning, that there will always be hurt & there will always be someone who needs something …
Because of that, our Happiness, no matter how fleeting, our Art, our Words, no matter how pointless they may feel, they are Valuable! 

As humans we can always use encouragement, even in the smallest of ways; if that's a photograph or flowers I share, then I'll celebrate it. Because it's often the smallest detail someone else shares that brings me inspiration, encouragement or a joyful moment & I hope this is that for you today ✨🤍
Blink and you’ll miss February…I may be late t Blink and you’ll miss February…I may be late to the party, but Valentines Flower Orders are available!!

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨
Thinking of Christie & Mario’s romantic wedding Thinking of Christie & Mario’s romantic wedding in Portugal, because I have travel on my mind & I'm feeling very inspired to explore, connect & make some magic happen in real beautiful places with creatives who inspire me🌿✨
