What could be better than a mile long wine tasting? A mile long wine tasting followed by an over the top wine dinner. More on the dinner on Monday. Today I will focus on Duval Uncorked, one of the main events during the annual Key West Food and Wine Festival. Continue reading Key West Food and Wine Festival: Duval Uncorked

 Chuck from T-Vine, hovering dangerously close to the sharks. The Grand tasting at the Key West food and Wine Festival is always a winner. Why? There are loads of wines and no crowds. This year’s event was held at the Key West Aquarium. There is something really cool about trying a variety of wines while sharks swim a few feet away. Plus, being Key West, there were mermaids, g-strings and more. Continue reading Key West Food and Wine Festival: Grand Tasting
 Swankey Palooza - now at Higgs Beach What started off as an idea to have a fun day at the beach has turned into an all-out music extravaganza. The folks behind Swankey, who are best known for putting on amazing weddings and other parties, are bringing a summer music-fest to town this weekend. If you are looking for something to do this is guaranteed to be a good time. Continue reading Swankey Palooza  Image via Wikipedia We tend to think that when season ends and the snowbirds return to the north that the fun stops in Key West. Well, the snowbirds think that, anyway. The summer in Key West is hot, sometimes rainy and fun-filled. Continue reading Key West Upcoming Events I could also title this Why I Like Underwear. I am not a curmudgeon, a prude or a stick in the mud. I like to have fun as much as anybody. Really, I write a travel blog – that means I travel. A lot. For fun. That being said, let me share with you why I . . . → Read More: Why I Hate Spring Break  At Key West Gallery I’ve said it before: There is nothing more fun that a mile long wine tasting. Seriously, what could be better than that? Two miles? That might be a bit excessive. Saturday evening was Duval Uncorked, the annual stroll down (or up, depending on where you start) Duval Street, wine glass in hand, eating and drinking at every stop. This year there were so many good stops along the way it is hard to keep track of them all. I will just share the highlights, as I see them, with you. You may want to grab a glass of wine, this is going to take a while. Go ahead, I can wait. Continue reading Duval Uncorked: The Most Fun You Can Have on Duval Street
 Image via Wikipedia Day two of the annual Key West Food and Wine Festival (KWFWF) brought more fun. I went to the Boisset Family Blending Seminar in the afternoon, which was different from most wine seminars I have been to in the past in one main way: it was terrific. Wine seminars are often run by people that know less about wine than I do. (I happen to know quite a bit about the subject, but that is beside the point) The ones that I have attended have also been condescending and downright boring. This seminar, however, was led by a knowledgeable and witty woman, Deirdre Conley, who made the entire afternoon fun. Continue reading Key West Food and Wine Festival: The Blending Seminar
It is “the big event” every year at Fantasy Fest. Yes, I am talking about the parade. For me it is the big disappointment of Fantasy Fest. Why? Well, for one thing, I am not a big fan of standing around waiting for stuff to happen, which is what goes on when there are thousands of people loitering on the street waiting for the floats to start. Once said floats do start meandering up the street, there is way too much time between each one, meaning I am stuck looking at all of the naked people coming dangerously close to touching me. Yuck.
