…And we are back! As usual, the holiday season was jam-packed with parties. Fairplex and the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center played host to a number of events towards the end of December and we aren’t slowing down in the slightest with 2013! Some of our upcoming events include… ArtReach 2013 (The Art of Food):…
The art of wining and dining
Contrary to what commercials would have you believe, beer isn’t the alcohol that brings people together. In my opinion it’s wine. Fancy dinner? Wine. Date night? Wine. Girls night in? Wine. Pizza and football? Wine. Okay, maybe that last one is just me. The point is… wine is perfect for most occasions. In the words…
