Vino!

What better way to spend an evening, but doing two things that rank highly in my favorites list: taking photographs and drinking wine!

A great time was had at Kathleen's wine tasting party. This girl pulled out all the stops. There was wonderful company, tasty foods, a lively atmosphere and the vino was flowing!

Kathleen has been involved with WineShop At Home for a little over a month now. She always loved drinking and learning about wine, so when the opportunity presented itself to turn a love of hers into a little side project business, it just felt right. 

WineShop At Home is a winery straight from beautiful wine country itself... Napa Valley. They have branched out and now do guided in-home wine tastings. Unlike most wineries that produce only 3-5 wines a year, WineShop At Home produces 4 new wines a month! All wines are made in a limited quantity, so they sell out quickly. But, this also means there is always something fresh to try. 

Kathleen did a superb job presenting the 6 different wines chosen by this particular evening's host. I loved getting to learn a little something new about the wines and taste each alongside its recommended pairings. 

I felt especially honored that she'd asked me to photograph this particular party. Our photos will be published in the July issue of Stark County's About magazine as part of a kick-off to Kathleen's business venture with WineShop. {Look for us!} She is our area's first and only consultant thus far. 

Here are a few of my favorites shots from the evening...

Here are a few of Kathleen giving her little guided tour of the wines... I love how much fun she is having with all of this!
