One of the best events of the fall season occurred this past weekend when the Newport Beach Wine and Food Festival brought together major local and national chefs along with top sommeliers and mixologists for a multi-day event that was hard to beat. Celebrity Cruises, one of the event Platinum Sponsors, not only supplied the beautiful glasses used for the Newport Beach Wine and Food Festival, but hosted a tasting booth with several different wines. Cruzan Rum made up delicious rum drinks in small watermelons, Duke Bourbon made some exciting cocktails and many more of the wine and spirits purveyors made this a top-flight tasting event. Noted Chef Rick Bayless not only gave a cooking demo and did a book signing, but manned the Red O booth and sampled some delicious tamales. All in all, it was simply a marvelous weekend for all the guests who came to enjoy delicious food, wine and spirits at the Newport Beach Wine and Food Festival. Here are some great sights that you could see at the Fest.
