Cin Cin::let the wine flow...

...and flow it did, for about 7 hours to be exact.

The last decanter was set on the counter to dry at 2:30am on Sunday~

Our "World Tour" wine tasting event last weekend went off without a hitch!

{I've included our full menu at the end of this post}

My job was to 'fluff' while hubby and his good friend slaved away in the kitchen.

Striking a quick pose while in 'fluff-mode':

The dining room buffet was "chocolate and berries" headquarters and the table is where glasses and menus can be found while the wine opens and breathes in decanters:

Our family room desk became destination "cheese and crackers":

I used all white flowers for my decor:
This fab lady brought me the best hostess gift ever. My very own moss "R" that she made herself~ I love it!!
I leave you with a pic taken just before our last guests went home....hopefully this fuzzy, blurry pic will make you feel as if you'd been there, sipping wine with us all evening. As you can clearly see here, our new coffee table was a hit!

Cheers!~
