Brian and I got to experience a super fun party thanks to tickets from work and my coworker\/friend Ebony. I’d always been curious about Palette to Palate<\/a> but we’d never been able to go. With tickets at $300 per person, it’s definitely one of the more exclusive charity benefits in town. As you can imagine when I email came through about tickets being available, I jumped at the chance.<\/p>\n

Here are a few pictures from the event.<\/p>\n

There were so many wines to sample. I completely lost track!<\/p>\n

I should have gotten a better picture of this one (above) because it was Brian’s favorite. The one below was my favorite out of the wines we tasted.<\/p>\n

Besides all the wines during the tasting, we also had several full sized bottles of wine at our table. These were the selections:<\/p>\n

Out of this group, the Caymus was the one that Brian and I liked the best.<\/p>\n

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

We looked for our favorites at Groves and found them to be way out of our price range! They’re even more expensive than our favorite “expensive” wine. LOL.<\/p>\n

Besides the wine, we were also treated to some performance art by child prodigy Elisabeth Anisimow and Le Petit Cirque.<\/p>\n

This was such a fun event! I’m so glad Brian and I got to go. By the way, there are way more pictures than what you see here. Hop on over to Flickr<\/a> to see the rest of our fun pictures from that evening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
