Third Annual Autumn Tasting Party.


This is not much of a photo recap-  I took a few photos, everyone showed up, and I completely forgot to take more.

I love throwing parties, I love my friends, and every year I've hosted a tasting friends have brought friends and I make some more. 

This year my little house was really full- I never got an actual count, but after looking over the glasses at the end, we definitely had more than 20 and less than 30.  It was very loud, it was fun, we stayed up late, we ate cheese, chocolate, and bread- and sipped wine, of course.  All in all, a night like this is filling in every single way and I am so grateful for nights spent sitting long with people I love.

I'll include a list of the foods we ate at the end of this post for reference for everyone who was there; you can see what we sampled from the first and second annual parties by clicking the links.  I'll add the sources when I can.
