Scenes from the Forest Park Winefest...

Over the weekend, I attended the Forest Park Winefest (mentioned in last week's blog post of Weekend Happenings). Having never attended this event before, I was extremely curious. Overall, the event was lovely and lucky for us, we had an utterly gorgeous St. Louis Fall day.

The Winefest featured over 200 wines from around the world, a Belgium Beer Garden, entertainment by Erin Bode, and dozens of vendors offering fantastic wine associated products.

A few mobile pics from the day...

Gorgeous day and phenomenal time! I will certainly be there again next year =) ...
