Free Wine Tasting ... Part Two

Pin It
Hey y'all. Shan here.

Did you see this woman last night?

If you answered "No", then I just have four little words for you. Why the Heck not!?!

That sweet lady with the fab smile (isn't she cute?) is Melissa. She was our Wine Hostess with the Mostess at the Olive Garden's FREE (Yes, I said Free!) Wine Tasting Event last night. We sampled 6 different wines, 3 whites, 3 reds from different regions in Italy. Melissa told us all about the different regions in Italy where they came from, what kinds of flavors to expect from each one, which types of dishes they would go best with, that sort of thing. She had a nice appetizer assortment ready for us including cheese, bruschetta with warm toasty bread and different types of olives. When it came time for the dessert wines she even gave us a combination of Olive Garden's new Dolcini's, their little, smaller sized desserts. YUM (:

When I left, I think there had been about 14 people in to participate and there was almost an hour left. Melissa just kept adding the people as they came in and would catch them up and make sure they had a chance to get to try everything. No rush, just take your time and enjoy.

She did an AMAZING job!

So....You know what? They're having another one tonight. Guess what? Yep. It's Free too. Uh-Huh. Same rules apply. They'd really like you to go to the Olive Garden FB page and sign up so they kind of have an idea about who's gonna come by, but I looked at the list of who had signed up yesterday and said yes, and let me tell you, I didn't see any of those people there last night except yours truly.

Well, what are you waiting for? Grab a date, or a friend and head on over to your local Olive Garden. Okay, so not right this minute. Get there at 6 when it starts, or maybe a little before then so you can get good seats in their newly remodeled cafe. Here in the DMV, that would be in Fairfax, Falls Church, Vienna, Woodbridge, and Mannassas. They'll be doing it again next week too, but why wait?

Let me know if your Wine Hostess is as Amazing as Melissa. She'll be hard to beat!

Till next time-

Be Safe,
