Wine and Rock and Roll Music... Great Idea!

We just got back from Las Vegas where we were fortunate enough to participate in the 3rd Annual Wine Amplified festival at Mandalay Bay. Picture this for an evening out:

• 30 wineries pouring
  
• 2,000 people partying
• 2 great bands (Gin Blossoms and Sherwood) rockin
• All outside at night at the beach
• In Vegas!

It does not get a lot better than that if you love music and also happen to enjoy great wine along with your music.  This was the view from our pouring table in the Lexus VIP lounge.

Chris Hammond and his partner Sonny Barton of Rock'n Roll Wine put on this event and they really did a great job.  These guys have been putting on wine and music events for several years and they attract huge crowds, great wineries and the best bands.  The Gin Blossoms were fantastic.  They played all the big hits and some really nice new songs.  We were lucky enough to hang out with a few of the guys after the show and they were very cool.  The guitar player Scotty Johnson is a big wine fan as well so be sure to check out their new CD.

We are already looking forward to next year.
