Back in February, Miss Niss attended the Boston Wine Expo at the Seaport Wold Trade Center.
I was really excited to check out the Wine Expo for the first time, and to see how it compares to the Mogehan Sun Wine Fest. After experiencing both events, I can tell you that they are very different. The Boston Wine Expo is set up in a huge space which allows the wine to be well organized by geographic region, a whole separate section for food vendors, and it never felt crowded even though the room was buzzing with people.
I love Italian wines, and they were easy to find with the large hanging banners throughout the room.
The Mr. has a fondness for South American wines, so we split our time between the two sections. The wines available were high class wines and tasting pours were generous. We took photos of our favorite bottles, but I don’t recall not liking anything I tasted. The food at the Boston Wine Expo also set it apart from other wine events. There was a row of food vendors almost as long as the room.
The truffle popcorn was as good as it sounds
This chocolate granola could’ve used more chocolate!
Of course I tried the Blonde chocolate – and of course it was delicious with its caramel notes.
A bite of eggplant rolatini from Sebastian’s in Revere, MA had me craving more.
We each made our own spice mixes, thanks to Celebrity Cruises.
Even this wine was surprisingly good!
The most surprising wine I tasted and enjoyed was TY KU Sake. I never thought of sake as a casual wine that I could enjoy as a whole glass, but TY KU changed my mind.
The Coconut Sake reminded me of Malibu rum, and I would happily drink this one as a cocktail.
My Mr. and I had a lot of fun drinking our way making our way through the Expo. We even bought a vacation! It may not have been our smartest decision to buy a vacation at a Wine Expo, but I don’t think we’ll have any regrets when we’re relaxing in the Berkshires this summer.
When we were ready to leave, we wanted to grab a bite to eat before we headed home. We meandered across the street to Tamo in the Seaport Hotel.
My veggie tostada was fresh and tasty.
His Tamo Burger was juicy and satisfying.
The Boston Wine Expo is well worth the ticket price for the experience of tasting so many different wines, chatting with knowledgeable wine connoisseurs, and tasting new foods.
Have you ever been to the Boston Wine Expo? What’d you think?
My tickets for the Boston Wine Expo were complimentary. As always, all of my opinions are my own.
