Last night Pat and I had the opportunity to attend a benefit for a local hospital. Pat's company sponsors the benefit at an area resort and invites tons of restaurants and wine and beer distributors. The entire evening becomes a giant tasting event for everyone that attends!
This year was even better than last year
because we were given a suite in the hotel for the night, as well, from Pat's company! We were able to enjoy our evening, sans children (thanks Grandma and Pop-pop!), and then head upstairs and fall right into bed!
One of the highlights of the night, other than all the food, drink and excellent company of friends, was getting an autographed copy of Chef Nick Stellino's newest book, "Cooking With Friends". Mr. Stellino spoke for a few minutes, signed books for about an hour and then mingled with the crowd for awhile. While I didn't speak with him, it was nice to get a copy of the book and a bunch of new recipes to try!
I wasn't able to take too many pictures because we were constantly moving and trying to new foods and wines and beers, so my hands were quite full! Here are the few that I did get to snap!

We were on the 6th floor and the view of the mountains around us was gorgeous!

Pat was resting mid-benefit- his feet hurt!
Someone is sleepy....
We ended up back downstairs for another 2 hours after this mini-power nap!
