Wine tasting, great music and fun food pairings.



This was truly a fun event. Filled with great people.
Amazing food samplings. And really helpful volunteer staff. The
wines kept pouring making all of the wine lovers very happy. And the
variety was surprisingly vast.



Sister wineries Tangent and
Baileyana had a multitude of
delicious wines. These happened to be amongst my favorites of the
event. (I attended the Baileyana
diner held at Pelican Point, be sure to read the article!)



This event's local offerings also included coffees, olive oils, and
various varieties of grape cuttings. Cal Poly had a booth promoting there
organic farm. They informed me that they have a share where you can
get a box of fresh organic veggies at a low price. You can pick up
the veggies at various locations in the county.
More info.


Crowds gathered in the Plaza to enjoy wine and good company.
There was a great energy in the air!



I stopped and had some samples of Carmen's dips and dressings.
They were delicious and I can see myself getting hooked! You can
pick Carmen's up at any local, higher end deli, winery etc.



Amongst the many booths was a local fellow Tom Neuhaus who sells
Sweet Earth organic
chocolate that is grown in Africa. This guy has a heart of gold. And
the chocolates are superb and he even has vegan peanut butter cups.
Available at Splash cafe.
They are divine.



Above is a local gal who reminded me of
my favorite movie of all time - Chocolate. She not only had
delicious bon bon shaped truffles, but she packages them in unique
little boxes. She can customize them for weddings and
anniversaries. I imagine that the sky is the limit!

There was even a great Mariachi band
playing
(Mariachi Imperial Guadalajara 805-934-9584), making for a lively and fun filled event, in the
Historic
Mission.
You should mark your calendar for next year. Barrels in the Plaza
is a truly fun event you will surely enjoy experiencing!
