I just attended a wine tasting at a friend’s home that was put on by AB Fine Wines. We tasted a champagne and several wines from France. In addition to having some very nice wines at extremely reasonable prices, Alex is knowledgeable about a wide variety of wines from all over the world and can work with just about any budget to either help you build your wine cellar or put on a nice evening event.
There was a meeting tonight to discuss ideas about potential improvements and uses of the Banyan Bowl at Pinecrest Gardens. Several arts groups, schools and residents have shown a significant interest in having the Village of Pinecrest upgrade and improve the Banyan Bowl so that it can be used for a variety of performances. The Village has hired consultants to do a feasibility study. What do you think? What types of performances would get you to attend?
Yes! Lately it seems there has been a horse invasion of Miami. The Lipizzaners a couple of weeks ago, Cavalia (through February 7) and this weekend’s Homestead Rodeo all are providing horse lovers with a variety of entertainment options.
Cavalia is a beautifully choreographed show with horses definitely stealing the scene. There are great acrobatics to keep your heart racing and a beautiful scene with several horses running around freely on the stage.
This weekend’s rodeo, with barrel racing and bucking broncos, is sure to be quite different from the choreographed Cavalia.
The Deering Estate will be hosting the ArtSoBay Exhibit from Sunday, January 31 through February 26. This beautiful historic estate and the lush grounds leading to Biscayne Bay make this the perfect stage to hear music from the Greater Miami Youth Symphony and view performances from the Miami Dade College Theater Department.
This event counts towards one of the New Year’s Resolutions for South Floridians!
If you are a chocolate lover, head over to the Fourth Annual Fairchild Chocolate Festival this Saturday and Sunday. The weather should be beautiful and the chocolate tasting mouthwatering.
The Coral Gables/South Miami area is so lucky to have two great cupcake places to choose from. Many of you have probably already heard of or tried Misha’s Cupcakes. The red velvet cupcakes are amazing and her cakes made out of individual mini-cupcakes are works of art as well as being convenient for parties…no plates or wasted cake.
A couple of blocks away on Sunset Drive is Buttercream Cupcakes and Coffee. Although they don’t make mini-cupcake cakes and their minis have to be special ordered, they have a larger variety of flavors. Their chocolate peanut butter cupcakes are amazing. Try both of these neighborhood places and let us know which one is your favorite.
