This year at the beach instead of the usual wine tasting party where we end up with too much wine (22 bottles alone last year) we decided that everyone would bring a bottle of wine and food that paired with their wine.
It was a great success! The food was spectacular. The wine enhanced the food like it should.
We had our crew of 11 plus Bear and the Davis. We welcomed our newest Wyatt who slept through most of the party. The party started at 6. The champagne toast was held at sunset and the sunset did not disappoint. We had crab cakes, shrimp, brie with apples, cheese torte, mushroom crostini, grilled figs, goat cheese & prosciutto, and minestrone soup. Jenn wowed us with desserts; chocolate torte and a vanilla fruit tart with almonds.
Shawn added to the festivities by bringing a "jockey box" that he had built (a take-a-long kegerator)to share.
At the close of the evening it was mandatory for the beach bonfire with smores. Everyone got 45 minutes of beach and bonfire before the Sheriff thought we should wrap it up. Bonfires are no longer welcomed at beaches!
A great time had by all. Thanks to all who participated for making this a great event.
