Wine Festival 006

Our first experience at the California Wine Festival — Wine glasses lined up for tasting.

Wine Festival 009

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

Ribs and Chicken Wings from The Point Restaurant & Bar in Dana Point.

Wine Festival 015

Messy with a Wine glass in hand, but the meat fell off the bone and both were flavorful.

Tall tables were scattered throughout the event and came in handy when free.

Pasta from Gemmell’s Restaurant may not look like much in the photo, but it was amazing!

I don’t know what it was, but if everything they make tastes as good, I’ve been missing out.

A generous Taco Plate from Chelas Mexican Grill was another winner for me.

Wine has the leading role at this event, so the heartier food options were appreciated.

An Alcove similar to one on a Celebrity Cruise Ship — Our favorite Festival Sponsor.

We had White Wine on this warm, sunny day — Missed out on Red and want to do it again.

We frolicked and planked on Doheny State Beach afterwards and then went out for Sushi.
