\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Our first experience at\u00a0the California Wine Festival<\/a> — Wine glasses lined up for tasting.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

We grabbed a couple glasses and sought out the FOOD, because it’s how we roll.\u00a0 Plenty of\u00a0Wine was all around and available from noon to 4 — Best get some food in us to start.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Ribs<\/strong> and Chicken Wings<\/strong> from The Point Restaurant & Bar<\/a> in Dana Point.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Messy with a Wine glass in hand, but the meat fell off the bone and both were flavorful.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Tall tables were scattered throughout the event<\/a> and came in handy when free.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

For a list of\u00a0Participating Wineries, check with the California Wine Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Pasta<\/strong>\u00a0from Gemmell’s Restaurant<\/a> may not look like much in the photo, but it was amazing!<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know what\u00a0it was, but if everything they<\/a> make tastes as good, I’ve been missing out.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

A generous Taco Plate<\/strong> from Chelas Mexican Grill<\/a> was another winner for me.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Wine has the\u00a0leading role at this event<\/a>, so the heartier food options were appreciated.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

VIP Pavilion (above) — It didn’t look more exciting, but had\u00a0more chairs and shade.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Grilled Fish Tacos<\/strong> from Rubio’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Sushi<\/strong> from Mah\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

White Chocolate Dipped Strawberries<\/strong> from Celebrity Cruises<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheers — We’re hoping to win a free Celebrity Cruise, if they haven’t picked the winner yet!?<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

An Alcove similar to one on a Celebrity Cruise Ship — Our\u00a0favorite Festival Sponsor.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

We had\u00a0White Wine on this warm, sunny day — Missed out on Red and want to do it\u00a0again.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

We frolicked and planked on\u00a0Doheny\u00a0State Beach<\/a> afterwards and then went out for Sushi.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/a><\/p>\n

One fine day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
