There's a first time for everything, right? Well let me start off by stating that on a normal day, I probably would immediately turn down attending any sort of festival pertaining to alcohol, just because I would prefer to avoid tipsy/drunk/random/icky masses of people... ALSO I don't particularly like wine (is this sounding pessimistic?) However, however, however, there was food involved in the mix! I think it's always a good idea to include food when alcohol is involved. Luckily, there was a lineup of food trucks ready for me to enjoy!
When you first walk in, you receive a complimentary wine glass for your tastings. There are multiple wine tasting booths set up, from various wineries along the East Coast. I could only go around to taste 3 wineries because it was blazing hot! I was able to grab some munchies from my favorite food truck, the Tapas Truck! I grabbed my favorite corn fritters, garlic fries, and shrimp pil-pil all of which are super yummy finger foods to eat. I highly recommend tasting them at the upcoming Truckeroo festival on June 12 or in Tyson's!
We ended up purchasing a bottle from one of our favorite tastings from Trump Winery. We decided to get sparkling chardonnay, which is quite tasty and light, especially considering I'm not very fond of wine. Overall, I'm glad I attended, but I probably wouldn't go again only because I'd rather try other culinary-type festivals.
I think it's really fun to attend food festival events like this, specially with your friends. You get to taste different kind of food and drinks. Though you’re not that fond of wine, I’m sure you still had a great time because they offered your favorite finger food. I hope there'll be more events like this one. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Tasha!
