Chocolate with Vino


Sunday we had a great day out at McGrail Vineyards. They had a chocolate/wine pairing event. They had displayed a chocolate fountain with strawberries, rice crispy treats, Madelines, cream puffs, and brownies. It was to die for! I was at that station for quite some time. The chocolate was free flowing and the smell was captivating. Everyone else enjoyed some vino with their treats.

We ended up bringing our own picnic supplies and had a great BBQ with garlic bread and some fixings. Everyone was quite envious! Although it was raining cat and dogs, we were troopers and still stuck to our BBQ plan. We were glad we did -- it turned out great! We gained quite a few friends and have been invited back for future BBQ events.

We topped off our fantastic day by having appetizers at Vic Stewart's -- never a dull moment! It was a long day of food, fun, laughs, and stories. Can't wait to do it again soon!
We also enjoyed two movies this weekend: Taken and He's Just Not that Into You. With all the raindrops, we found a nice, warm comfy seat in the theatre.
