Last year we did two pairings, Japan’s Food & Sake Pairing (here) and Morocco’s Food & Wine Pairing (here).

This was our second of three such pairings continue reading Tokyo Dining Food & Sake Pairing … We first tasted Unibroue beer the last time we ate at Le Cellier in the Canada pavilion.

So continue reading Unibroue Draft Beer at Canada during 2011 Epcot Food & Wine Festival … We really enjoy our sushi, judging most places by the quality of their tuna.

We’ve already been talking with Al continue reading La Hacienda de San Angel – Tequila Lunch Pairing … Last year, we attended Party for the Senses for the first time. We had briefly considered it in previous years… usually along the lines of “might be fun, we’d need at least one other couple to go with us.” Then we heard about the Wine View Lounge and decided “well, that would mean we aren’t continue reading 3D Disney’s Dessert Discovery Party – 2011 … The long anticipated and much watched “La Hacienda San Angel” (located in Epcot’s World Showcase Mexico Pavilion) opened on September 16, 2010. We’d been reading reviews of the press event and of “La Cantina San Angel” (counter-service located immediately next door) on allears.net and on the Disney Food Blog… Review of La Cantina San Angel continue reading First Dinner at La Hacienda San Angel – originally written on September 23, 2010 … Specifics: Host: Pam Smith Food: Kevin Dundon, Raglan Road @ Downtown Disney and Dunbrody Country House Hotel & Restaurant in Ireland Wine: Amy Meddins for Lapostolle Vineyards, Chile Our wine representative was Amy Meddins, from Tuesday’s demonstration.
