Or as I prefer to call it the Wine & Food festival. Priorities people, priorities.
We met up with our friends Angie and Scott to experience the festival together and had an AWESOME time. Anything that involves food and alcoholic beverages is a plus, but to get to do it with good friends is even better!
I’ll try to remember everything we tried – there were some hits, some so-so’s and no misses that I can recall.
Brazil: Grilled Pork Skewer with Farofa – this was just OK for me.
Spain: Poema Cava Brut Sparkling Wine – this was nice and refreshing on a hot day
Argentina: Beef Empanada with Tomato Salsa – very tasty
Greece: Chicken souvlaki with tzatziki – just so-so
China: Chris got a Happy Lychee drink and it was very good
Ireland: We tried a few things here:
Kerrygold Cheese Selection: Aged-Irish Cheddar, Dubliner and Ivernia Cheese with Apple Chutney and Brown Bread – this was nice but I love cheese so this wasn’t a surprise
Warm Chocolate Lava Cake – OMG. Heaven.
Bunratty Meade Honey Wine – yummmm. Reminded me of something Harry Potter would drink at Hogsmeade.
Australia: Rosemount Pinot Noir – very smooth
Morocco: Royale Tangerine Mimosa – this was great, Chris had the baklava and he really liked it
South Africa: Seared Beef Tenderloin with Sweet Potato Purée, Mango Barbecue Sauce – Excellent
Italy: Primavera drink – mix of strawberry, banana and peach slush – very good vacation drink in the sun
Canada: Maple sugar candy – Good but not the same as the local stuff
Mexico: Mousse de Piña y Coco – yummy coconutty mousse
Poland: Chopin Raspberry Chiller – awesome!
Germany: Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce – yum yum yum – it was warm too!
France: Escargot Persillade en Brioche – good
I know Chris had tried a few others but I can’t recall – and I know I’m missing some wines in there too… It was a great festival and one I would definitely do again.
We also stopped at the Rose & Crown pub for a drink. The guys each had a Guinness, Angie had a cool-looking Leaping Leprechaun and I had an apple cider. Getting out of the sun was good too – I have a mean sunburn
After Epcot, we headed over to the Disney Boardwalk (which we didn’t even know existed! Luckily we were there with some expert locals ) We had some drinks and snacks at the ESPN bar where the crowd was quite excited about the baseball game. We then headed over to Jellyrolls, which is a dueling piano bar where you can make requests for songs and sing along – which was an awesome place.
It was a great day – this day really made our trip.
