Boston Wine Expo

A few weekends ago, I got to go to the Boston Wine Expo with some of my favorite ladies.  I talked about it before here.  There a few things you should know about the wine expo...

• The expo runs one weekend a year at the Seaport Trade Center. The setting would be absolutely beautiful if A. it was warm out B. you could bring your wine outside.
• You need to have a game plan going into the event.  It's totally overwhelming if you don't plan ahead OR if you tend to get easily distracted.  Oh, look a SHINY object!
• The snacks are there for a reason.  EAT THEM!  Better yet...bring some home for later!
• The venue is crowded and lots of people are drinking (duh), so go with people that have a sense of humor.
• Don't expect to see just wines at the wine expo.  You can taste some lovely hard ciders, mead and beers too.
• You will get a little drunk/tipsy no matter how hard you try not to.  Just accept it and enjoy it.
• If you pay attention - you can get some good swag! (coupons, full salads/snacks, reusable shopping bags; not to mention your fabulous wine glass)

But mostly...the Boston Wine Expo is full of people just having fun!

The top hat was "borrowed" off the head of a vintner!

Smile girls!

Nice accessories....

If you're going to be a bitch, you might as well be a happy one!

I'll talk about the wines next week.  :-)
