Looking for a fun and different holiday gift? Tickets to the Boston Wine Expo are on sale just in time for Christmas!

Boston Wine Expo

I recently attended a Boston Wine Expo preview tasting and once again encountered some favorite wines, such as these beautiful wines from Chateau D’Esclans. Whispering Angel is one of my favorite wines, and this time around I got to sample some of Sacha Lichine’s higher end wines like the gorgeous Garrus and Les Clans. These and many other wines will be open for sampling at the Boston Wine Expo this February.

In addition to lots of wine tasting, you’ll also see some of your favorite chefs at the Wine Expo, like  Ming Tsai, Jody Adams, Barbara Lynch, Daniel Bruce and many more:

pick your favorites and let your readers know to expect them at the expo!

One of my favorite parts about the Boston Wine Expo are the seminars. I attended a seminar on Greek wines a few years back, and it was very interesting. This year there are even more wine seminars, and more being added.

Check out the "one Hour Wine Expert" with Kevin Zraly, Elizabeth Butler of Viña Mayu and Jake Pippin of Vine Connections explore the Terroir of Chile, and Dave Willis, head of distilling at Boston’s Bully Boy Distillers will talk about craft distilling and sample Bully Boy’s award-winning spirits.

You can get your Grand Tasting tickets now; just use the code HOLIDAY13 for a $10 off the Saturday or Sunday Grand Tasting. You can buy your Boston Wine Expo tickets here. 

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Boston Wine Expo–Wines not to miss

February 15, 2013 in wine by traveleatlove | 3 comments

The Boston Wine Expo is this weekend! I was hoping to attend, but since it’s a long weekend and I haven’t seen my family since Christmas, I am heading out of town tomorrow morning. For some reason I thought booking a 6 am flight on a Saturday was a good idea. . .

Wine expos can be completely overwhelming, so I like to go in with a few must-try wines. Once I hit those goals, I can relax and start tasting new things, which is one of the great things about wine events like this.

Here are a just a few of the wineries I would be visiting if I was attending the Boston Wine Expo this weekend. I realize they are all domestic; I clearly need to expand my reach beyond the US, and I do work on that. I just can’t help it though; I love California!

Alexander Valley Vineyards – Visit to taste their Temptation and Sin Zin, stay for the Cab and Merlot. These wines are

Hope Family Wines – I first tried these wines at the Boston Wine Expo preview event, and want to stock my wine fridge with Troublemaker by Austin Hope, a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, and Petite Sirah.

Inman Family Wines – The Inmans have a very cool tasting room in a gorgeous setting in Santa Rosa, California. And we’ll be visiting in April. (Yay!) They also happen to make the perfect shellfish wine, a Russian River Valley Pinot Gris. I don’t think they will be pouring it this weekend, but stop by to meet the winemakers and to try their incredibly balanced Chardonnay and luscious Pinot Noirs.

Moonlight Meadery – I first tried Moonlight Meadery’s mead at the Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival this past year. I didn’t think I liked mead, but these are delicious. Since it’s different than wine, this is a great opportunity to mix it up a little too!

White Oak Vineyards & Winery – Another favorite, and a gorgeous place we visited during the Wine and Food Affair, White Oak also makes some great Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot. Yes, Merlot. Try it!

If you’re going to the Boston Wine Expo, what are you looking forward to tasting? If you attend big food and wine events, do you go in with a strategy?

Boston Wine Expo

Happy Friday! I love Friday giveaways, and I have a great one for you. Remember when I got a sneak peek of the Boston Wine Expo? At that event, we learned about the many enhancements to the Expo, including a blogger program, social media lounge, new seminars, and more. The wine expo, which takes place in February, is certainly a great way to get in out of the cold, learn about new wines, and try delicious food made by Boston-area chefs.

To started getting people excited about the expo, I have been given a set of Boston Wine Expo Sunday Grand Tasting tickets to give to one lucky reader. The tasting is Sunday, February 17 from 1:00 – 5:00, in Boston.

According to the Boston Wine Expo website, the grand tasting is “A Global Adventure In A Glass”.

Sample wine from over 185 wineries around the globe and taste culinary creations from the area’s most popular restaurants. Plus there’s lifestyle and additional food exhibits…all presented in a dramatic new layout showcasing the four main wine regions of the world – North America, Western Europe, the Mediterranean and the Southern Hemisphere.
Other highlights:

Two stages spotlight the hottest chefs in New England

Social Media Lounge will be located in the center of the Grand Tasting, the Lounge provides a fun spot to view which wines attendees “like best” via the mobile app

More restaurants and food sampling – Cuisine from restaurants paired with wines in the Grand Tasting
