UNCORKED: A Unique Wine Experience | The Capital Grille

I was so happy to be a part of this wonderful event hosted by Cox Media Group at The Capital Grille.  Tuesday night, a group of radio execs, buyers and sellers gathered together for an evening with Master Sommelier, George Miliotes, for a blind tasting of 6 wines.  Miliotes walked us all through the steps that he, one of only 197 worldwide Master Sommeliers, takes when rating and identifying wines.

2 words:  Lobster Puffs!

Hey - even I got to indulge a little (and maybe a little more). 

Swirl that pinot around.

This is what I like to call "The Dream Team".  My favorite was the Catena Malbec.

The wonderful Cox Media Group.  Thank you all again for a wonderful evening!

A Little Rain on the Bride to Be!

Did you know my cousin Matt is a lucky guy?  Wanna know why?  Because in about 2 months, he gets to marry the awesomeness that is Jackie!

This past Sunday, friends and family joined together from near and far at Merchantville Country Club to shower Jackie with their love and well wishes.  It was a beautiful day spent with laughs, good food, and of course all the kitchen appliances, margarita glasses, duvet covers a newly married couple would ever need.

In keeping with Matt and Jackie's "Movie" themed wedding, the bridal party went with these cute pocket mirror favors.

A beautiful Towel Cake from Jackie's aunt.

A movie-themed event would not be complete without a Red Carpet and "Pin the Oscar on Matt"!

SURPRISE!!!

Jackie and her soon to be second family (although she's already part of the family).

Jackie with her Bridesmaids.

It wouldn't be a Jackie photo without a little Kiss tongue action going on.

A gift from Jackie's soon to be nephew - Bride + Groom shirts.

Even their cats Bauer and Feivel and their dog Boone get some lovin' at the shower.

And now time to get that Oscar in Matt's hand.  And who one this little game?  Matt's nephew/my godson, Kevin!  The kid just took a leap of faith and it paid off.

Love you both and can't wait to celebrate your wedding day on September 21st!
