Roadtrip Across America

Back in April we helped with the San Angelo Cultural Affairs Council Food and Wine Festival. We actually only got to be a part of one night because we were out of town the rest of the time. Our event was the Thursday night kickoff event called Uncorked and Unplugged- Roadtrip Across America. I served on the committtee with my friend, Lori, and several other talented women, and our friend, Ashley, was actually chair of the whole festival. We began planning the event back in November before Quincy was born and it was so neat to watch all of our work come together and the night was a huge success. We had 5 chefs from the top San Angelo restaurants. They each prepared food from a different region of the United States which was then paired with wine. We ended the evening with the guests on the roof of the San Angelo Museum of Art enjoying more wine and music from the Divas. Several of our friends also helped out by pouring wine. Here are some pictures from the fun night-

We did not realize Doug was in the background but I think that is what makes this pic so fun!
Justin, Doug, and Sutton- The boys had a large time pouring wine.
I was in charge of the Florida table. Chef Earl Mulley of the the River Terrace served Vaca Frita with black bean broth and boniato puree paired with Surh Luchtel Syrah from Page Nord Vineyards. I had a great time decorating the table and Sutton had fun serving.

My favorite detail of the table was this gorgeous centerpiece that Shurley Floral designed for me.
