169 dtg!!!

Attended the tasting tonight at the Garre winery cafe; it's in conjunction with our wedding site--it's where the cook does his thing.

Were able to try 6 different appetizers....I really only liked 2 or 3 of them, which is hard now, because we need to try and pick out a total of 3, but would like them all to be different. They were delish though!

Then tried the two salads that will be served....also delish! Casey and I both loved em.

Then we tasted 4 entrees: Tri Tip, Mahi Mahi, Rosemary chicken and chicken marsala. Casey and I had already decided that we would do the Tri Tip, because we eat it ALOT.... both our families love it, and it is a pretty popular dish. Then, we figured we would do a chicken dish...keep it simple. But both chicken dishes were terrible! One was really dry and the mushrooms were funky and the other chicken was way too moist, and it was a leg (I'm a breast gal myself)..... Didn't like that!

BUT!!!!! Surprisingly, we both loved the Mahi Mahi! And both of us are not huge fish lovers, so that totally shocked us! It was just great flavor, had the great salsa that accompanied it. Perfect! The only thing is that it's a little pricier than the chicken that we had normally budgeted, so we will see. But I doubt that my parents would want to go for something that is going to be sub par. I mean, we have to feed ALOT of people!!!

And finally, there was unlimited wine tasting, since we are going to have to choose the wines that we are going to serve at the wedding. WOAH! Was that a mistake for me or what!

First of all the champagne was AWESOME!!!!!!! I have never liked champagne before, and this stuff was like candy to me! Then we tried some reds and I fell in love with this white, and soon enough I'm toasted!

All in all, it was a great experience! We will definitely try to get back so we can try some of the other appetizers.
